Rear quarter done, front suspension, tank and rubber returns

The rear left quarter is finished. The rear spheres are also installed. David Cossit-Levy in Orange, CT, has rebuilt them for me. He can rebuild and recharge spheres; you can contact him at DCossitt@imshealth.com.

... so is the front height corrector (Was as bad as the rear one).



Working on the front left suspension cylinder...



The replacement O ring for the cylinder is a 2-221


Moving to the returns and tank.

- The bottom opening goes to the tank.
- The small left opening comes from the steering rack.
- Top left comes from the height correctors
- The big top right comes from the main accumulator.

I've remove the bulge on height corrector line to rubber hose connection; It is very hard to fit a reinforced hose to it. In addition, it is a very bad location and if the hose fails, it is going to be easier to replace later.


Height corrector return hose: 8mm x 26 cm.


The returns to the tank (From left to right):

- The leak returns from the height correctors
- Return from the pedalo: 6.35mm x 108 cm
- Suspension cylinders return: 8mm x 92 cm
- Return from the Y (Rack, height correctors and main accu); 10mm x 96 cm

The leak returns from the height correctors go all the way up in the tank.


Thank you silicone fluid!

I've used a sphere O ring for the bottom of filter (2-127); I used petroleum jelly to fit is since it is slightly over-sized.
The top O ring is 3.5 x 38 mm (Or 2-222)

The cap takes a 5 x 35 O ring
