Title: Stanchion run out.
Post by: Sesman on March 27, 2021, 06:20:22 PM

Evening all. Help please...again :-[

I’ve got the stanchions in ‘V’ blocks and I’m measuring total run out in one leg of 2mm and 0.3mm total for t’other leg?

Are these acceptable numbers or will I be doing some business with Mr Philpott?. I can’t seem to find this topic on the forum of in the workshop manual?

Apologies....0.2mm and 0.3mm total.

Do you think they need treatment? Is there a published factory tolerance?

Not at that, it would be difficult to get them straighter even tho new ones are
