I've always had problems with the front body post
I end up with ugly elongated holes

That's when I got the idea to make a vertical 30 degree body post thingiey :wink:

Now isn't that ingenious? Although I will be going with the body mount on top of the bell cranks for my t2 buggy... reduces parts count that way :D

HI!... Anyone know who makes the shock spring collars in that pic that was posted? Are they off a existing car? After market? Or one off's?

I believe they are the earliest collars
It's just an alloy ring with a set screw

Any one else wanna chip in ?

HI!... I've seen that same collar several times over the years. Some have 2 set screws in them, others have had 3.

CRP for one had them, delta used the same type as well, also the early yokomos I have had used them. Oh, and kyosho CB shocks.

Now, I am not sure about the diameters of the above rings, just that they were that style.

You are going to want the earlier style. Those in gomach's (with a moving CRP logo header) are too late. I would bet the ones in the photo are the ones intended for the Kyosho CB88's. They don't have the spring centralizer lip but just a rounded groove in the bottom of the collar. I'll look around for a pic.

The one on the left is the real deal (the one on the right was expertly machined by Jake/Seabass), Everything CRP had at that time came in either gold or silver anno (which explains the front color difference).
