IDA stacks getting loose

[Felix/DFL]

Hi,

I have a problem with the orig. IDA stacks (spanish IDA`s)

As said the stacks (2-3 of them) are getting loose and can be turned by hand and rattle. I have bended both of the outer edges of the clamps down a bit which solved the problem. But only temporarly... They came loose again.
It seems that the stacks are to deep into the gasser body so that the clamps don`t really press the stack "ring".

Have you had simular problems and how did you solve them?

Greetings,
Felix

Art Thraen (ACE) sells thicker tabs that don't bend.

Try an Italian stack, maybe the lip is wider, I noticed that also with my Spainish set. I have a Italian set of IDA's, I'll pull the stacks and take some measurements.

Hi,

I have the same problem with my italian IDAs. I guess it´s caused after swapping the chokes which may be a littler shorter than stock ones. I often use a short (1cm) wire beneath the tabs to get the stacks tight which usually solves the problem.
