cpp e-z-go bb cradle
 

my engine cradle moves up and down in the front next to where it bolts to the frame... the bolt goes through the heim joint i have tighted it down 2 times and it will stop for a day or two and then it starts making a "clunking sound " when it moves it's like the bolt is too small for it.... what do i do i dont wanna tear it up :thumbdown:....

Why not get a second nut for this area and make it like a jam nut, hope I spelled that right? Lol

ok gave tom a holler he said take it apart and check it out:thumbup:..... soooo johnny 5 disassembled it ...:shock: :lhmo: looked at the heim joint and 2 part coupling actually looked at the bolt hole ...the hole on mine is about a .501 or 1/2 inch and the bolt was a standard 3/8 size :|Anybody ever looked at thier's and checked it out when you built it? :?

You probably forgot or were missing the misalignment spacers.

Re: cpp e-z-go bb cradle
 

those were the couplings i mentioned.... didn't know they were misalignment spacers...lol ... yeah the the hole on the inside of those were 1/2 inch and my bolt was 3/8 inch making it have a clunking noise when you hit the gas tom said he had never had that problem even with high hp use ....so i put a washer on each side on the inside of the mount and lock washers on the outside of the frame mount seems solid now only time will tell if the fix works tom said he was gonna check one of his and see what size it is his customer sevice is great too !!!

Re: cpp e-z-go bb cradle
 

didn't get achance to get back to tom but i installed some flat and locking washers and beat on it ever since with no problems :thumbup:
