The only one I have extra so far is (URL) black and I only have one. After I get through them all (I scored 20 odd Slizers and 10 Roboriders for 3 for a dollar. They had LOTS more but I ran out of cash.) I'll post back. This maybe some time in mid (...) (24 years ago, 30-Mar-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.technic.slizer)

(...) They're not really pneumetics. They're slow release springs, kind of like on a screen door. You can use one to do the pop-up roop of the convertible version or use both to do the gull wing doors version. (24 years ago, 30-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic)
