Dan260Z Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Having too much trouble finding any at a reasonable price... tried ebay, uxcell, etc. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Zedman240® Posted May 1, 2014 Moderators Share Posted May 1, 2014 I got a couple if you want.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan260Z Posted May 1, 2014 Author Share Posted May 1, 2014 A couple would be perfect - especially since I just bought a pair of generic ebay items (didn't want to take the risk on two pairs if they might not fit!). Let me know how much you want... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Zedman240® Posted May 1, 2014 Moderators Share Posted May 1, 2014 I'll dig em out this Saturday and let you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Zedman240® Posted May 3, 2014 Moderators Share Posted May 3, 2014 Let me know if these suit; from memory they were new when I bought some bump stops as they came together but I only used the stops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan260Z Posted May 3, 2014 Author Share Posted May 3, 2014 Cheers mate much appreciated. Could I be more of a PITA and get some very rough dimensions? ID of the holes and unstretched length? Just worried they look shortish (pics are deceiving I know) as my stock broken ones are very long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Zedman240® Posted May 4, 2014 Moderators Share Posted May 4, 2014 Id is approx 55mm at the tube side and length is 200mm. They do look a tad shorter than originals but may work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DatZed Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Just buy some universal rack end boots and trim them to suit. Ran them for years on the rally car. ~$40 from Burson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan260Z Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 Cheers, they sound near-identical to the 2 I've bought off ebay for $25, so if it's ok with you I'll wait till they come in and see if they fit, then buy yours for the rear if they do? I prefer to check first rather than stuff you around. Thanks for the universal rack boot suggestion - that's a great idea too if these don't work out .

fluegel Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I haven't bothered with dust boots they can cause more trouble than they are worth. When they eventually split the dirt will get in and stay at the bottom grinding away at the piston rod. Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan260Z Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 Cheers guys, much appreciated. Still waiting on my ebay delivery from dandenong would you believe! The seller shipped straight away but they've been in the back of an Australia Post van (issued from a post office 5 mins from my house) for over a week and a half! Seems the driver forgot to deliver them. Had to open a case for them to look into it, etc. Pain in the proverbial! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan260Z Posted May 22, 2014 Author Share Posted May 22, 2014 ... And when I finally got the package, it was torn open and empty. So the saga continues as i raise a dispute with Aust Post, etc. Dimitri let me know if I can still have yours, how much you want, etc. Ideally i'll ask if you could post them (at my expense) as I'll struggle to get to your area given how much I've got on atm.

grimlynsan Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I have a spare set of these (used but in perfect working order) that were removed when I installed coilovers. If you are a future reader of this thread feel free to PM me cause I'll prolly still have them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan260Z Posted May 29, 2014 Author Share Posted May 29, 2014 I may well be interested - only have the two I got from Dimitri atm (they've arrived safe - thanks! Haven't tried to fit them yet) and I'll need another two given I'll prob just get the cash back from aust post (if they ever respond to my claim!). Plus if you've used them already on a zed at least I know they'll fit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
