Plugging the Gap Tutorial

[Kiola]

Ok .. so some of you are having problems plugging the gap after the little white thin has fallen out.. heres what i did

_________________________________________________________________________________________________

First Cut out some strips of cardboard the width of you spring



then fold that piece of cardbored in half .. longways



..and again



and then you are left with a piece of cardboard folded right down into a square... you may want to wrap another one around it for extra depth..



Make another one (unless you only have 1 leg)



and then push it into the gap between your spring and the bar that goes accross it.. folloing that strap it in with a bit of tape...



for extra safety you may want to do this.. but its yet to prove to do anything.. but it dopes look nice to people looking at them from the back...

ive checked mine to see if ive lost this piece and mine isnt a white thing, its like black sponge.

[naycanbock]

really wouldnt worry as this differs from the differand brands of poweriser.
just like the spring colour which can be differant depending on the model

hope this helps

It sounds great but how long is the piece of cardboard supposed to be and does the tape hold it in very well even with the springs movement??

Cheers!

[Kiola]

well. i only did it as a temp methed.. use your plastic thing and tape that back in if you can.

ive already tried it and they keep breaking so they become smaller and the always fall out. 'reapeats the previous questions'?

[Kiola]

try hardest to tape it in.. you may need to take the spring out to wrap the tape around the card properly..  keep making it longer and longer .. until when folded plugs the gap properly .. cant really say anymore than that.. sorry

a piece of tire left over from making tiresocks will prolly fit nicely there if you cut the knobs off
