Would a ZX-R MK2 come with alloy or plastic ot-16 knuckles? And likewise a MK1? I have that yellow specimen sitting next to my ZX-S now, will post some pics later on

Thanks so seems the car came with the correct parts then. It has UJs on the rear as well. I keep forgetting what shocks the RR came with. The gold shocks on this car are mint but I'm tempted to put my new equalzers on it. I find the MK2 front shock tower really ugly I'll put a MK1 tower on it. What I'd really like to do is find some carbon sheet that matches the chassis and top deck and have towers battery straps and motor brace cut for it

I'm scared *waves at iso*

I really enjoy the fact that we can have a good laugh at the same time as helping each other out (although I am pretty sure Iso's demands are always serious!)

Back on topic! I really want some alloy hingepin holders for my rebuild but I seem to recall people saying the new one's on Ebay are not correct? Can anyone help me find some? I want the ones that are the same as the Kyosho LAW part, not the ugly alloy block ones and ideally in blue (I'd prefer black but I don't think they were ever made)?

The ones Paragu sells are crap so dont buy them. They are fractionally too small.

Im unsure if the ebay ones are ok. Im going to have the two inner ones made from a block in the next month or so.

I think it's the Paragu ones on Ebay that I'm referring to, these ones:

I didn't realise there was a Kyosho law pivot block, any more details on that? The front Pargu pivot blocks are OK but the rears are a bit too narrow. They are still useable though. I have three sets (long story) so I'm looking to sell one set

Hoping someone can help me out here, I have been inspecting the yellow ZX-R and found need a couple things for it.

The attached image is from the ZX-R supplement I need the tapered washer, I have all the other parts in the picture, I actually need two pairs, does anyone have any or know if that part is available new on its own. Its odd that it doesn't come with the kingpin parts



The other thing is would anyone have a new or mint rear half of the front gearbox, I know its the front that usually breaks so not sure if anyone has the rear half as on the yellow ZX-R the thread is stripped for the lower right shock tower screw and that one goes into the rear of the gearbox case I believe. I am yet to strip a lazer completely so not as familiar with it as I am with the Mid

James where do you source all your stainless fasteners from?

I'm not sure of the LAW number but I'm pretty sure they did exist and anodised in Kyosho blue too. How much are you looking to sell a set for and what colours have you got?

What? Do you mean the screws? If yes the companys gone bust but if you ebay a search for stainless steel 3mm button head screws and go for 5mm, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14mm then that should be all the sizes you need.

RPC have a good range and also sponsor oople:

http://rpcracing.co.uk/en/668-metric

Also, I've been wondering if the original ZX-5 upper king pin would make a good replacement for the parts you are looking for (cause I need them as well I think). You can see what they look like in this auction:

Personally i prefer the king pin for the zx5 where is a collar with washer end and you screw into it pretty much like the zxrr version. Advantages are you can avoid king pin losses.

Does that mean the ZX5 ones fit with no problems, James? Do they end up the same height as the original ZXRR config?
