TOPIC:

oops, forgot you said no mail on mondays.
what springs do i need for the shocks? i have some lunchbox springs which fit over the shock body but there is nothing to support them at the bottom. i could make up a spacer to fit or can you buy these parts seperately?

right, tires ordered, next question is what to do with the wheels?
1, leave them silver
2, spray them white
3, spray them black

any ideas? not to sure at the moment......

Mmm... did I forget to add D1?
And do the ball connectors (whatsitmecalled?) have the same shape as on the pic?
Think I was hurrying a bit too much to get it in the mail.
I'd go for black on the rims btw...

The Rims need black!

no worries about the D1 parts, i can wait for the shocks, they will go on the hopper.
the thingemywotsits look the same to me
i think black rims would look good too, make it kind of a stealth car, the white sides are going too, going to be carbon fibre.
do you think the lunchbox springs will work ok?
i still need to get some front shocks for the hornet so im not in a rush

Don't have any Manta Ray D1s anymore - just checked...
I could mail you some from a Hummer CVA - with the little whateveryounameits. They're a different combo.
But I'll have to see if the springs have the same diameter.
I'll double check on the Lunchbox springs but if they fit on the damper housing, I see no reason for them not to be a match.

Btw - cool idea with the carbon.

I came across your ' original grasshopper rebuild ' topic yesterday.
Seems to me it's part of this Hopper quest so I think I'll change the title to this one and merge the two...

ok, your the boss!
on the dampers, there i the body (obviously), the caps either end, the steel rod in the middle and the ball joint oojameflips at the bottom.
there are also 4 o rings, 2 for each damper i guess and a little black plastic spacer. what order do these bits go together?

A picture speaks a thousand words...

I'll reverse the merging. Don't want you to lose the view count.
It apparently adapts to the earliest topic...
