Quick question: Are the P45R’s meant to be reusable?

I took a couple of my dampers apart tonight and noticed the P45R’s fell out when removing the vanes from the damper body. Then after cleaning everything and going to reinsert the P45R into the vanes they just fell right in, like they shrunk. Is this normal?

Thanks

P45R fór D2.1

Good morning awesomatix people,

Can I use P45R in D2.1 dampers without problems, or do I need to buy some more parts?

Cavity in D2.1 rotor is not deep enough for P45R.

USA kit availability

Any idea when more kits will be available? What kit would be the best starting point for CRC black carpet in USA?

Thanks

Also on that same note, kinda, is the Adjustable body mount set, always seems to be on backorder but I can definitely see the benefits of this. But as for the flexible caster blocks, just not sure about the benefit. If anybody can chime in on this, would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I found the ABS but have yet to try it out. I'll report back when I set up. One thing to note is that you'll also have to find an older P-14 bumper set - The newer versions have 4 built in posts vs 2 on the older P-14.
