Anyone have a spare CAT I can borrow to look at making a de restriction mod like the pure Motorsport one only better .... Cheers Rik

Hi.. How much do you need for it and where are you .. PM me if you prefer..

How did the shaft get bent at the top ?

So the makings of a spare set if Matt is prepared to sell his N/S

Perhaps with some TLC we can make a set up .. I am having some shafts made with a DLC coating that will never ever wear out .. It'll outlast the car .. R

Lovely bit of work Nathan... Are you going to get the same place to dyno them ?

Hi Matt . Whereabouts are you ? I might be able to do something with the dampers but I'd need to have a look at them if possible..

So the first set of " Customer " dampers arrived yesterday for the Rik Perry treatment. Although they look a big grubby they seem to be in good shape, de gassed but tidy.. I'm sure we can have these fit and well in no time ...

Yes i think Nathan has swapped the flush ( Needle ) valve for a Std valve on the double seal cap..

Yes the red one is the standard Sachs part.. But i think that one might be the BG upgrade ?? Anyone else have that option might be able to confirm ??

If I PM you can you let me have a supplier ??

What pads would you recomend for std set up ?? Mine is on Pagid and felt a bit wooly at some points in Wales

Is that the BG double seal end cap Nathan ??

Ah great minds think alike ... Thanks for the info on the detents .. I will look into that a bit further now .. Cheers

Count me in also !!

Hi all. I have a set of new Cup dampers that you can use to keeps rolling while your Sachs units go in for service.. I can help to change them over if you are not so mechanicaly minded... Message if you need them.. If there is big demand there might be a waiting list but let's see if many...

Mikey I used Nitrogen.. Mark for my rebuild I sourced Sachs parts.. If I needed a shaft however I would get a batch made up.. To F1 standards so no problems with quality..

Yes its good info.. Around the 180lb mark .. complicated by the rising rate and aeon rubber should it get into that area.. Pretty soft to be honest on springing... I was expecting it to be higher TBH...

No real correct answer to that as is progressive

The low speed rebound curve seemed to be the place where it was most over damped so that makes sense..

Yes....it's almost as if they are just cup ones anyway !!

Thanks for the offer tho...

Sorry it was just a stab in the dark as I know some of the guys over there.. Nice to have another owner local to me..

I have no experience off the 200 but I gives me food for thought.. I will have a play with the dampers in Wales next week and do some thinking.

Yes I have a plan for a scraper .. But it depends if the BG part is crazy money or not.. I can make something similar easily enough.. On the Dyno the damping at the factory settings is very OTT for the spring rate IMHO but then again I'm not Jean Rangiotti so I will keep my nose out off it and...

I'm often in Brackley but it's not mine ... Do you work at ATL if your in MK?

Both shafts were in good shape thankfully !

If not leaking that's good news.. Might still be worth taking them off in the winter for a bit of a clean up and hopefully prevent the need for a service.. It seems to be grit ingress that kills them as they have no dirt scraper seal as standard.

It might be worth running a small bead of silicone around the inside weld line of the spring seat on rebuild units to prevent that rust trap we see on so many dampers? Also the water drain hole could do with being on the other side of the strut to help this.. But I guess Sachs were just using...

The beading is the weld bead from the spring platform showing through now it's nice and clean.. You can see a tiny bit of oil on it from the bleeding process as I hadn't fully cleaned up at that point. I did close up the pin hole with a tiny bit of silicone sealer once I was done. I did see the...
