Dualtron Thunder 2 / loose steering

Junty

Hi all,
I have a Thunder 2, and I'm very happy with the overall performance, however the main steering post (dual folding clamp) has a lot of movement / slop!
I know previous models of MiniMotors had a dual clamp upgrade - Thunder 2 includes a dual clamp direct from the factory. I simply want stronger more ridged connection!
Maybe even a fixed connection - as I never fold my scooter?
Keen to know if other people have experienced similar movement? Is there any upgrade or replacement parts to make joint much more secure? Note: I'll add video during the weekend if I can?
Cheers,
J

Hey @Junty

My friends fixed the loose / wobble problem for Dualtron Thunder 2 with this upgraded folding clamp https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003626104869.html?aff_fcid=b511a883e9614ddeb75686696e868b61-1646748685630-02617-_AaqbPP&tt=CPS_NORMAL&aff_fsk=_AaqbPP&aff_platform=portals-tool&sk=_AaqbPP&aff_trace_key=b511a883e9614ddeb75686696e868b61-1646748685630-02617-_AaqbPP&terminal_id=dbc594854f6442db851b750503f3014a&afSmartRedirect=y. Not sure if the steering wrench for new Dualtron models is needed to install the folding clamp, anyway is good to have such tool if ever need to unscrew or check the steering system.

More INFO: The same upgraded folding clamp is compatible with the following models as well Dualtron Victor, Dualtron Achilleus, Dualtron Storm and Dualtron Spider 2, (taken from producer sale page)

Show us some pictures or video with your exact problem. Thanks :)

Thankyou Charges25, I appreciate the link to improved bracket. Would this part also benefit from a stainless folding bracket? This company appear to be making one that looks better? https://sonken-engineering.com/headset/

Junty sonken parts are very good, premium quality but that headset is of old dualtron models. Actually i used that type of headset as upgrade for my thunder, here is a video:

Thanks
I've purchased the parts from Aliexpress, the same store also offer a fixed solution / no fold, So I added one of these to the order, just incase the clamp isn't enough.
I appreciate all help,
Cheers.
