Jota Rear Suspension mounts

[dynodave]

Would anyone be able to measure a jota frame for me and give some dimensions of the position of the top shock mounts?

Thanks,

Which year/model, Ceriani or Marzocchi, upright, laid down or both?

 

[dynodave]

It's the laid down position I'm looking for in pics 2 and 3. Cheers

Where would you like them taken from Dave?.....I can measure mine for you.

parallel to the faces of the tubes should be accurate enough to find the centre of the mount, if that's ok? If the vertical shock mount is in the same position as the one on a 3c you could also measure from centre to centre for me as a double check?

Thanks

Hi Dave,

Right, from forward face of vertical frame tube parallel to centre of mount is 50mm,(centre to centre is approx. 35mm).
Second measurement a bit more tricky due to welds but dropping down from bottom of top rail to centre is approx 68mm,if you measure parrallel with vertical tube its 80mm.
More accurate is measurement from top of rear footrest mount to centre of shock mount is 243mm.

Hope these help?.....let me know if you need more.

Steve

I have a bare frame you can come and play with, if local enough, I am 10 minutes off J4 of M25

Cheers for that, I'm in Staffordshire though. A couple of clear photo's of the inside face of the mounts would be helpful?

I'm in Lichfield Dave - can wheel my jota out for you if that is useful? Come over for a cuppa and a measure-up.

I might take you up on that mate.....I'm in Rugeley

Boom! And the towers were gone.

Just let me know - I'll need a few hours notice to dig her out of the disorganized shit-hole I call my garage.

 

[dynodave]

Will do.

Assuming the swingarm pos is the same in both shock mount variations (fwd or upright), an easy way to find the position is to remove the top bolt from one side and rotate the eye fwd to the 50mm Steve measured from the vertical tube front face.

Best I can do Dave, any good to you?

 

[dynodave]

Cheers for that. That's spot on would you mind measuring from outer face to outer face of the mounts and the o/d? and length of the tube?

 

[Schurminater]

Morning Dave,
Okay , you could have asked me this when the bike was dismantled! but with some engineering ingenuity.
Measurements as follows:
Outer face to outer face 252.8 mm
length of tube 38m
O/d of tube (painted) 20.10 mm

 

[dynodave]

Morning. You soon put that back together! Lol. Thanks for taking the time to get the dimensions for me, I appreciate it

Glad I could help
