Re: - Original Masami Hirosaka RC-10 GX prototype -
If it was me, Id run a few laps then clean it and document all parts and settings for a future build here for someone. Keep it as the centerpiece of the collection. I like the pictures of the RC10 graphite GX on page 3....
I like the use of snap rings on the hinges in certain points. I might try that too. Hold better than those pesky e clips

If you have a harbor freight nearby, this will work in a pinch it looks like, but will have an assortment of sizes though. 20 of the 1/8". Not as good a deal as McMaster carr I guess.

I think Parma used to make a product like this.... little spring clip that you cut to open up, then placed over the end of the suspension pin and it sprung back and held it all in place. I have a bag or two somewhere, I'll see if I can find them.

That's why mine are worth like $75 per pack. Vintage header cards.

The front sway bar is nothing really special: it uses the grooves in the front arm mounts and then the outer shock holes on the a-arms as a mounting point. No mod needed but you can't use the outer holes any longer.
What's new is the few washers included. That's probably worth more than an old header card. That pack alone would easily fetch 100 bucks.Incredible_Serious wrote:Interestingly, mine are NEW parts too!!! So my NEW parts are a replacement for yours I guess, scr8p....scr8p wrote:
