Default Re: Heavy Duty F/R Switch Cam Install

There was an issue however. Since my cart is 13 years old I requested new Copper bolts for the baseplate. Figured there would be plenty of wear, so why not replace them.

Old and new:


When these were installed, the added head thickness of the new bolts added onto the added head thickness of the bolts in the new cam pushed the cam away from the baseplate enough for the metal strap on the new cam to bypass the stops on the baseplate. This allowed the actuator to extend past the normal position and start to spin over the other side.


Solution for me was to reinstall the old copper bolts to close up the gap, and all is fine. The old bolts looked fine after a dressed them out on the wire wheel.
