I fill them to the top, work the shaft a little to get ALL the air bubbles out from underneath them, let them set a little until I am sure all the air has risen to the top, then push the shaft up a few mm, place the bladder on top of the shock, and pull the shaft back out, this will suck the bladder down and force some fluid out, holding the shaft down, I clean the shock body of fluid and install the cap. This method seems to have helped with bladder tears and the shocks will rebound all the way out!
Nice One Bruva!

Ya you are right my last kit had the new bits but identifying the updated kits from the first release is a grab bag although as fast as they sell I should be assured I will get the updated kit thanks for the input.
Jim
Well, the running changes on original kit parts are added into the most recent kits, so in a way, the buggy has been updated since the original release.
a new kit would have the new outer hinge pins, new orings, probably includes an oring for the chassis brace, new clutch shoes...

I think they sell out enough that you should not have to worry. To be safe, buy from a vendor that has them on back order alot (A-main).

What size allen driver is needed for the set screws that hold the hinge pins into the steering spindles. I only have standard allens and they either seem to be a bit to small or too big. Are they possibly metric? If so what size so I can make sure I purchase the right one?
Thanks...

The set screw is 1/16, but there is also some .05 set screws which are on the hard anodized mounts for the sway bar. For this car you'll need a .050, 1/16, 5/64 OR 2mm, and a 3/32.
I use Integy tools also, and so far have been good to me.

I went big for my first set of "quality" drivers. Bullit brand. I'm making sure to not be extra careful with them. Actually do a bit of prying with them also. Several months in and going strong. Thinking of getting the slotted tip screw drivers also. After buying a Hudy screw driver and breaking the tip as soon as I used it, I was mad. But I then learned that the Novarossi heads need the widest tip that Hudy makes. Oh well. So I have a cool Hudy handle sitting on my bench. lol. Tear down is fast with the Bullit being able to be used with a power driver.
