Well, I checked one of my damper blades this morning and there is a good 3 - 4mm play between the shims fore and aft. Any advice on adjusting the shims? Is it a case of loostening the bolts, closing the gap and retightening them?
Yes I believe that is right. I do not have these but attended Keiths workshop at Brands Hatch Morgan last Tuesday and watched him do exactly this, loosen the bolts and adjust until snug. The blades he showed were in various stages of wear, one set were visibly misshapen at the ends and he advised replacement - apparently inexpensive parts but labour will add to the cost. Keith also showed how to raise the bronze bush with a screwdriver to inject thick oil onto the top of the hub, lightly grease the blade where it moves in its sandwich.
