Default Bosscat, cougar 2000, etc

I have a number of pairs of Schumacher shock bodies for Bosscat etc,

There are different colours of anodising, black, silver and brown?

Any ideas which models they are from?

The box art for Bosscat shows silver but the works car I have has the brown colour. A cat 2000 I have has silver rears and brown fronts?

There is the purple colour too!

Which colours to each model or did Schumacher just put on whatever they had in stock!

Keith

Keith, in theory there were the standard gold / silver "vari" bodies, they were on early bosscat and cougar 2. Then Cougar works, Bosscat works and all the 2000 models had the "Pro" bodies that were the green / brown ish colour.

I think there were also some red alloy and black plastic bodies that were probably known as "Vari" in some of the sport kits.

Purple was short shocks for sst, mission and then menace, rascal sports trucks. Red alloy was club 10 and cat touring conversions.

Hello Matt

I have a few pairs of black vari shocks? They are the same shape and as the later ones but black, I know one set was on a Bosscat sport that I acquired.

Hello

These are alloy, I have some of the plastic ones, they have ribs on the bottom end where the cartridge screws in.

Keith, I don't recall ever seeing black alloy, but it sounds like others have.

Thanks everyone.

I'll rebuild and use them!

The colour is not going to alter the way they work.

Dark greeny / browny ones are hard anodized as opposed to natural colour anodizing of silver and purple ones, so are less susceptible to marking
