Koni shock adjustment on LXi's
Thanks again, David.
Keeping the shocks semi firm in front and firmer in back makes sense. I
think my tag pressure is about 70, but my rear tires are 100lbs+. They
probably won't get to the adjustments this week, but I'll pass along all
your good information.
My Corian had deep scratches, so I had to remove a good deal of material
around the scratches. I used progressively finer wet sandings, 320, 600 and
1500, followed by a wet sanding with a gray scotchbrite. Then I used a
rubbing compound and buffed it with an electric drill. As I said, the
countertop looks very even all the way across. The dinette still needs
work. I'm sure your car polisher do better. I'll check out leathercpr.
Thanks again.
