The HR steering gear does just touch the grey sump on full lock - it's better to use the FC steering gear if you have the grey engine, other wise you need to modify the sump a little bit.

I think it is because the EH was the first of the red motors and is not right for the mighty grey. Cheers Stewy 8) Title: Re: hr front end proplems Post by: mcl1959 on May 01, 2011, 09:01:24 PM That's right - there is no front engine mount spot on an EH outrigger
