Third trip out in the new (to me) plus 8 planned for tomorrow, just a short one from Aldridge to marston green as swmbo has one of the tintops and the other is in for service.
Bring on another bright sunny day like today.

It was such a pleasant, if cold, afternoon I just had to take a 20 mile drive in the Morgan to Whittenham Clumps and back so that I could post a few letters 😀😀😀

I learned an interesting thing from PJB and Quantum the other day. Adjustable dampers should always be adjusted down a number of clicks from full hard, not up from full soft. The reason is to do with possible machining variances. Whatever the variances full hard is a fixed reference point. The actual number of clicks available to full soft may be a variable so coming back up from full soft may have a different damping setting on one side to the other..

Noce run over the Derbyshire Dales to pick up a 'new' hood and tonneau. Chilly around the ears, but a nice run nonetheless (is that all meant to be one word?)

The reason is to do with possible machining variances. Whatever the variances full hard is a fixed reference point. The actual number of clicks available to full soft may be a variable so coming back up from full soft may have a different damping setting on one side to the other.. I discovered this by accident. Starting from soft, the knobs on each damper will rotate different amounts before the first click, which is a soft click. Each subsequent click gets harder. So because the first click is so difficult to detect, I click to the top, counting as I go, then click down.....................
