RE: sunny booster + 7/8ths

[Terry Rudd]

The booster setup that we use has the following dimensions.   From the firewall: 1. 45mm alloy spacer 2. Kiki booster 85mm long by 125mm diameter 3. 20mm spacer 4. Master cylinder   The throttle rod hitting the top of the booster - On the stock unit the throttle cross rod passes over the top of the alloy spacer (#1) and then behind the top of clutch cylinder reservoir, so it goes nowhere near the booster. The small Kiki booster clears the throttle rod that comes through the firewall by about 25mm so there's not that much room for a bigger diameter booster.   Booster touching the clutch cylinder - The booster you have must be a later model like off an imported Stanza; these are about 175mm in diameter but they are a lot thinner than the small diameter ones, and it's going to be hard to fit on a 1600 even with the correct spacer. You are correct, the booster is the problem and if you can make up something to get it in there, the cylinder will be easy. I didn't know that Sunny boosters weren't all the same? may be this one was a retro fit?   regards Terry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Zac Campbell Sent: Thursday, 7 March 2002 10:31 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: sunny booster + 7/8ths OK thanks for your reply Terry. I went with the r30 m/cyl because it is nice and 'new', 7/8ths, and I thought it was what some of the guys were using (Pete says he is using it anyway). I must have kind of got a little mixed up with the 240k one :(   My main issue now is not the master cylinder at all. It is with the booster fitting! Putting the sunny and the pulsar boosters next to each other, the mounting and everything are identical - the only difference being the front of it where the m/cyl bolts on. I would like to pick your brain on how the Sunny booster fits into a 1600 as the same would apply for this Pulsar one. There are three issues - throttle rod hitting top of booster; booster touching master cylinder; booster touching top of the steering column bracket. The last one particularly makes it not bolt in properly. I experimented with a small spacer (4-5mm) and that should do the trick. You can't use a massive spacer like 180b kiki as there isn't enough thread. The sunny booster I am talking about here looks nothing like the very small 180b one I am sure you are tlaking about, but it is bendix and has a weird word ending with 'kiki' on it! :) Once I can get this booster in there shouldn't be any problems. already bought two boosters and a m/cyl dont really want to have to go out and get another two :(   cheers, zac --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
