Modifications to the pendulum support

Fitting the pendulum support -1- to the gearbox

At the start of the series, a steel pendulum support with two or three sleeves was manufactured to be fitted on the strut. Sleeve length = 90 mm.

After a brief initial stage, an aluminium pendulum support -1- with only one sleeve -arrow- is now manufactured. Sleeve length = 90 mm.

Due to the modifications made to the pendulum support housing, a shorter sleeve is now used. Sleeve length = 85 mm.

–	Select pendulum support according to strut housing:

Housing width	Distinctive feature	Sleeve length -arrow- in pendulum support	Number of sleeves -arrow- in pendulum support
90 mm	3 holes	90 mm	1 → Note or 2
85 mm	1 hole	85 mm	1

¹⁾	If the pendulum support has only one sleeve, the strut must be bolted at the front hole.
