AE Hard anodised shock rebuild

Post by Oozzee »

Hi All, just after a bit of advise,

is it possible to use other shock shafts and seals in associated hard anodised shocks,

am I correct in assuming that the diameter of the imperial shock shaft will be different to a metric shock shaft and then therefore the orings will be a different size to Tamiya Orings/shock shafts or will it not make a difference, more concerned with potential oil leakage

cheers

Yes, the 3mm (#006) silicone o rings from other shocks work fine.

I have used 3mm shafts instead of the original 1/8" shafts a few times. I didn't have any problems but my cars aren't ran often.
Always looking for new and interesting ways to waste money.

Associated used the same part number for the seals when they switched from imperial to metric.
