You have to be careful with the liquid cooling. Too much of the liquid takes
away from the accuracy of the BFH, and if the BFH is not calibrated well,
then the combination of too much liquid, poor accuracy and bad calibration
makes for serious adjustment errors.

Re: Adjust YJ door striker
Very true. Liquid mercury cooled are the worst as far as causing poor
accuracy if overfilled or poorly calibrated. While they stopped making
these in the 50s, there are still plenty of garages around that have
them. If you try and take them in for recalibration, they quite often
will be confiscated.

Re: Adjust YJ door striker
The real trouble comes from the liquid cooled operators. The chilled Coors
and MGDs can really get a poorly calibrated BFH to swing too fast, and if
the accuracy is diminished then the next swing can be even faster.

Re: Adjust YJ door striker
The interesting phenomenon here is that the results of the diminished
accuracy is rarely evident for up to 24 hours. Quite often, the liquid
cooled operators feel that all of the poorly calibrated swings were
quite accurate and are dumbfounded at the results 24 hours later. I
suspect that is where most of the late model flat fenders come from.

Re: Adjust YJ door striker
The interesting phenomenon here is that the results of the diminished
accuracy is rarely evident for up to 24 hours. Quite often, the liquid
cooled operators feel that all of the poorly calibrated swings were
quite accurate and are dumbfounded at the results 24 hours later. I
suspect that is where most of the late model flat fenders come from.
