Probably the hole in the mushrooms for the drag link is not big enough. It should be tapered and of a size so that when the drag link nut is done up hard a couple of threads show past the lock nut. The other possibility is that the top part of the mushrooms are too thick. You need to get your vernier out and check the dimensions. Check the diameter of the drag link taper and compare it to the size of your hole first.

Mine was the same
I guessing that there must be two differing lengths of thread on the drag links depending where they come from My mushrooms were from 3GE and i had to get them reamed out a little to ensure the thread was through the nyloc nut with a few threads extra But many others have used 3GE mushrooms with no problems So you either need to get some drag links with a longer thread or modify the mushrooms to suit |

Depending how much it is you could grind a bit off the bottom of the mushroom to allow more thread to stick through.

i have a little Q to do with this i have a draglink fitted to a 3ge mushroom and noticed theres hardly any movement to allow the suspension to travel up and down befor the draglink is at its limit
or is this just me? and where the hell am i sposed to find locknuts to lock the draglink ends to the upper arms? |

Baz,
What you have noticed with draglink movement is how it is on all of the roadsters. I think it is one of the things Ash thinks caused his ali adjuster to fail, by pulling on the draglink once it had ran out of movement. Any nut & bolt supplier should be able to get the M18 half nuts for you. If not you can get them on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/M18-x1-5-RIGHT...item4153126238 Cheers Dave
