Aquired some Fox Dampers
I've got some dampers that may or may not be suitable for my car, anyone know anything about Fox Racing Shockers there 13 and 15" so
1" longer than the standard ones on the mnr, not measured yet but bearings at each end look vaguely the right size, there adjustable for
rebound and compreshion and also have an air valve on the remote part

My mountain bike has Fox shocks front and rear. Think they started out in the motorcross suspension field.

Our formula Student Car used Fox Mountain bike shocks, they worked fine but the car was only 200Kg.
Could possibly work well on the light front end of a BEC?

Yer my marin also has a fox float rear shock, i've even got a shock pump for them, no idea if it's the same sort of pressures as the
car shocks i've just got, or what sort of pressure the car shocks would need?
just looked at the fox site, and can't spot any info on old products, not got anywere on google either yet

Those look to me like an old Fox 'twin clicker' which was a pretty fair quality motorcycle shock.
They were imported into the UK by a pal of mine. If you want I could ask him for you?
The remote reservoirs are nitrogen charged with a floating piston to separate the oil and the gas. To check if you still have some pressure left just
drop off the springs and push in the damper rod. It should resist and then push back out on it's own.
Don't whatever you do connect any kind of pump or airline to the valve in the remote. ther is so little volume of gas you will lose all the
pressure.
