cosworth turbo damper question bolting the turbo solid
can a turbo damper on a cosworth be bolted up solid to the turbo and the to the rocker cover like the bailey one but with out the rose joint bit and just have a simple adjusting rod. as I cant see whey you would want any part of the damper to flex. more info or would be nice as looking at a pic of Karl cosworth he has a turbo damper that looks to be bolted up solid but not sure thanks

yes you can but you will need a spacer like a pice of ally tube or a load of washers(which looks gash) or some good washers and a smaller bolt.... just be carefull not to bend the bracket on the turbo when you do it up...

i hear what your saying but i am going to make one from scratch with stainless steel solid bar and tube a bit like the bailey one but one to suit my manifold and turbo

this tubular manifold hasnt cracked before, and its lasted 9yrs.
so im just going to copy the design for mine, cant use the one that was originally used as it was design for a 2wd head and i dont have the lugs on the head to mount it the same.

If it's any help, here's the answer I got from Bailey - I asked how it works differently to a standard turbo damper:
Hope this helps
It is designed to offer superior support for the turbo, as the standard Ford dampers wear quickly and service parts are now quite difficult to get. It mounts on three of the standard cam cover bolt fittings and comes with a pair of spherical adjustable joints to get the tension correct (instructions included). As it uses the came cover fixing bolts, these means that it will fit both 2wd and 4wd heads/cam covers, but not the later type Escort Cosworth silver cam cover.

I would personally modify a Bailey one to suit your application.
