Looks in parts box... sees a plethera of spring-steel doggies... :P

The beauty of being an ex-835 racer is all the left over bits still in my box.

Nope, not bronze. The normal blackish colour....:(
No worries... I like Uncle Crash also have the same doggies you have on your car... :cry:

Those spring steel dogbones are rare commodity items. :nod:

D,
I think it's in-line pipe. How do you tell? It doesn't have a silicon tube joint. Just a rubber gasket between the manifold and muffler with 3 little springs holding them together. Is that good...?:confused:

Yes, that's good. 2 piece pipes are the ones with the silicone joint.

I think more rare is this tool from Hudy (106000) to take out the pins from the doggies...

Any connections Mark? :sneaky:

I set my track width narrower than necessary and then put on 1mm shims. It certainly helps to prevent dogbones from vanishing.

Cheers, Mark.

And also helps confuse you as to why you can't get the setup right when you forgot to put the shims! :lol:
