Hi everybody!!
I am in the process of restoring a 870C, for which I already received a fantastic repro body from mrlexan (thanks!!).
However I need some parts to complete the kit:
- front bulkhead white plastic cover (if anyone has also the rear one I would buy both)
- chassis reinforcement plate, "L" section, referred as "backbone plate" in the manual
- front 2.0" tires, TR-8 or similar pin, 1 pair
- original 2.0" pink rims, only if new.

Then a question to all you vintage Yokomo experts:
What is this?? (see pix) Has it anything to do with the 870C?

Thanks!! Bye!

I have a nip pair of TF8 tyres. $10usd + shipping from Australia

a01butal had the L-section for sale a couple months ago. I don't think he had a buyer. Try to PM him

That part: not for the 870C indeed; at least not standard

Well,

In first, your carbon fiber part fit the Wprks 93 !
But that's looks to be a Fiberlyte option .

About your needed part, I have the "L" corner, the front and rear magnesium bulkhead, few rims (but only front or rear, I have to check).
I have also many and many other parts including chassis, towers, belts, arms, shafts, turnbuckles, ball ends, hubs...

Thanks for your replies!
Kenooze I think you can give me a big help!
Is the L plate new or equivalent? If you want to sell it consider it done!
Please check the rims (type, color and condition) and let me know.
No chances for the white covers? I miss the front one!!
I'd appreciate if you could give a price for each part (by PM if you prefer) + shipment to Italy.
About the tires: I would prefer to include them in a package with other parts to save some money for shipping costs.
Anyway bormac I will keep in consideration your offer.
Thanks for now..

Hi kenooze

Sorry to hijack on this thread but I am restoring a 870c and (US)yz10 as well. It sounds like you have a bunch of parts for them. I am looking for a front bumper, right side battery strap (4 cell), the 2 wing mounts and 4 wing buttons. The condition could be nice to new. Any help would be much appreciated.

Again sorry for hijacking slazzaro. The parts I am asking about are different from what you are asking for, I hope this is ok with you. I will keep my eyes open for your needed parts.

Rod

I have 1 front white diff cover. It has had some material removed from it at some point though-LOL.

Rod, no problems for hijacking my request.. especially since you are looking for different parts!
I have a spare NIP wing mount set, yet I am not sure I can sell it because I first have to check the conditions of the one currently installed on the car I am restoring...
Bormac, would you be so kind to post or PM a picture of the front cover so that I can see the removed material?
Thanks, bye

Hi

This is what I have for you in front of your listing.



Tell me what you need exactly.

Fantastic!!
I need the backbone plate, the front rims and tires.
Thanks a lot, please let me know how do you prefer to be paid (paypal?).
I will give you my address for shipping; do we have to poceed by PM?
Thanks again, bye

Look at the picture of the front suspension near the left top corner, it is possible to notice a sort of "omega" plate linking the top ends of the two servo saver screws.
Bye!

Thanks Erik you've got a good memory, I didn't even remember I had that up before anyway looks like Cedric has it handled.

The carbon plate in the picture is an aftermarket (Fibre-Lyte or ComCom) piece for the Yokomo Works '93 (the version on the Works '93 was made from fibreglass).

Check out this thread to see what it looks like mounted on a car- http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=7602

Bye!
