Grasshopper Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Having removed the torsion bars from our Scorpion, they seem to be covered in some sort of protective tape. Anybody know what this might be or where I might get some? Vince Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 sirhc Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Vince, Do you have a photo of the tape? I am sure it mentions it in the section from the AESP I have sent you previously. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Grasshopper Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share Posted February 25, 2009 I'll post a pic, and check the AESP (the printout is in the manual which is not here at the moment and I don't have it on my machine any more). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Grasshopper Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share Posted February 25, 2009 Thanks Chris. It just mentions epoxy coating, so will do some research on epoxy tapes. Seems like there are a lot of epoxy tapes out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Richard Farrant Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Vince, The protective coating, tape or otherwise is to stop corrosion. If any rust spots develope, it often results in a fracture at this point. As you found, water can accumulate in the torsion bar housings, same with FV430 series.
