OK BRICKNICK just remember...you asked. The long chrome pieces are the stock damper sleeves from the Tamiya Lunchbox. Now I had a lot of spare parts from 1/25 scale truck-trailers and I found the inserts for the rear wheels for Revell of Germany's Stepp's tow truck. I trimmed the outside of the inserts to the same diameter as the damper tubes. For the valves I used spacers for the trailer dampers, screwed them in place with washers on top. And bingo, the valves were done. I was told a long time ago just look around the house and you would be surprised what we can find to work with. Happy hunting and thank you for the compliment.

Big John
