Sweet, the screws need to be at least 44MM long, but don't need full length thread.

O.K. not much progress this week. I have tracked down a supplier for m3 threaded rod, but I have to but 5 1M long length rods to get it.... Oh well, other projects are planned...

Anyway I have found a set of shocks that I can use that are almost period, but at least are not big bore things that are all de rigeur these days.



The only problem is all the blue anodising. Ew.

So, question for you lovely readers. Best way to remove it? oven cleaner? want something that is the safest for the aluminium as I'm dealing with unknown quality as well as threads etc I don't want eaten!

A couple of easy choices for those. M3 x 45mm screws are available from several r/c companies.

Axial part number AXA0094 and AX31202
Team Associated part number 89279
FS Racing part number 83031, these are phillips head like the originals, all the others are cap head.
