Hi guys, I am stripping out the old shocks and springs on LRZX. I note that there are thin rubber / plastic sleeves that slide over each end of the spring. (Silencer) Mine have perished / frayed etc. Does anyone know where to get these locally? They are no longer available as a Nissan part - Tein has them on their US website - but not keen to pay 40 bucks for postage for just these items. Or is there another solution? Thanks if anyone can assist Look like this.. kinda
Get yourself some cable coil wrap. Is a plastic extrusion that's made into a coil. You wind it around the spring coils so it overlaps a turn and a half. Comes in a variety of internal diameters. I think the last lot I got was 8mm. Winds nice and tight around the spring coils. Works just the same as the proper silencers.
Jcar sell it http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=HP1222 and I believe I spotted some in the electrical section of Bunnings
Sorted Thanks Twin Terror. Yep, well I went to Jaycar this afternoon and purchased a 2 metre pack. So, this looks like it will do the job. Cheers everyone and thanks for the help with this one.
