Thanks! My instruction manual just doesn't break down the assemblies very well.

Does anyone know if the .71 hard anodized shock bodies are available by themselves? No one seems to have any, and I can't find a part number. It's probably around and I'm just missing it.

One day, I'll pick one of these up. That rear suspension has always interested me. Good work!

Wow! This is good news. I'm going to order some more too.

Is this the Yoke with magnesium parts?

Wow, never knew about Avid. I've used Boca Bearing in the past. They have a 99 cent bearing store plus free shipping if you spend over 12 bucks (I think).

Hey Sharkman. How long have your viper bodies been on backorder?

i never put a motor in mine, so i tried it with that gear ratio. and your right, it won't mesh. the wire tabs on the the endbell are hitting the left a-arm mount. with an 81/20, your at a 9.11 final drive. try an 84/21. that will give you a 9.00, and you should be able to mesh the gears without a p...
