Sorry for the delay, here you are. I couldn't find original header but parts number could be #7091.

Thanks a lot mate I really appreaciate it. Is there anyway you could post a 1:1 scan though? I am not very good with photo programs and so I don't know how to scale this to fit you see.

Your car is looking excellent by the way. Where did you score an Andy's body?

Finally, what tricks do you have for fitting 2.2 wheels? I find all the ones I have hit the rear trailing arms. Are there some spacers available or do I have to make some?

It could be resized. I have sent pm.

ebay, of course.
what tricks do you have for fitting 2.2 wheels?
I'm using ZC-835 wheels that was sold as 870C's. But some spacer is needed between rear arms and wheel hubs. Hot Trick spacer (#009Y) is good for that but you can use also Tamiya's stock plastic bearing (1150 size) instead of Hot Trick's.

I have replied with my email via pm.

Bummed I missed the body on ebay was it hidden well? Was it cheap for you? I hope so :mrgreen:

I will have to try some old HT spacers. I didn't have any lying around and it was late when I went to fit the wheels. :oops:

I don't remember the price... it's several years ago. But I think it's cheap because the condition was not good.
In those day, the another new Andy's SE body was listed and Shodog grabbed it.
Shodog's body was very expensive because the second bidder was me...lol
But that body was really nice.

Oh! Haha I thought this body had been on in the last few weeks! Both yours and Shodogs bodies are excellent.

Well, I have thanks to Tak printed out a scan of the strap and I have bought a set of Parma body mounts which are the same as the RPS items. Now I am off home to measure my grp stocks. I hope I have the right stuff.

I just wanted to post this to get you both spooled up.......... it will probably work against me, as I still haven't done anything with it and expect you will give me a hard time about not doing so. :D

Tak, do you ever have a problem with the steering bellcrank hitting the drive chain when you turn completely to the left? I'm also using yz-870/10 bellcrank on my yz-834b and the chain hits it when I turn the wheels all the way to the left.

Jay, I would definitely buy a handful of rps bodies to help you make some money back :D
Old school racing all the way!
