Just gonna do a quick tear down and refresh and remove the rust.

Any tips on rust removal?

CLR has worked great for me.

Great im gonna have to pick some up. all the turnbuckles and universals are rusted up.

Did the T2 originally come with the older style lower spring cups and preload clamps? My B2 from around that same time has the newer spring cups and clamps. Also the front green springs are more like a neon green rather than the deep forest green like the backs and all the other greens springs I've seen.

Hi Rootdown4594,

Here is a link for manuals from Team associated,

It looks like the T2 used the old style spring clips and cups in black.

Cheers, DaveM.

Front springs are light green and the T2's I've had were the newer style collars with the exception of one.

I think there are early/late versions, if it has teflon bearings then newer style cups/clamps. Older style 10T metal sheilded bearings early cups/clamps.
