Hi-cap dampers.
Hi,
I am nearing the end of my Egress build and I need some plastic bits for my Hi-caps. Does anyone know if this will work?

Cheers

Re: Hi-cap dampers.
i don't think so. those are for mini (mo3) shocks and i think the parts are a different size.
got a pic of the egress shocks?

Re: Hi-cap dampers.
I am beginning to understand why the Egress sells for so much. Parts are IMPOSSIBLE to find!
The hunt continues!

Re: Hi-cap dampers.
Cool. Thanks.
Should be all sorted now. Got my steering, got my shock parts. Now I just need those darn BF9's and some decals.

Re: Hi-cap dampers.
Good ideas. I am not going for original so I am open to using different parts.
I may have a line on some BF9's and if it pans out I will share my source.
Still considering just making a pair but it seem a lot of work to get it right. There is not a lot of room to work in that front end.

Re: Hi-cap dampers.

Re: Hi-cap dampers.
It OK. I think my seals are fine. I noticed that two of the caps have air holes at the top and the other two dont. I had one of each on my front shocks so one was stiffer than the other. I though it was a shaft/seal problem but it should be OK now thanks.
