Hi,
Jonathon? Are you saying the "replacment"
cylinders also "broke" after use ?
Huw? when you say "shattered internally" what
are you seeing there? broken seals or fractured
ABS parts ?
After reading this, I am leaving my Indy Storm
in the open or extended position so to not leave
the cylinder in a "compressed " state.
Please let us know if you see changes in the
replacement Parts : )
thanks !
John

| (...) The part inside the cylinder at the top that takes the pressure of the compressed spring is obviously not man enough for the job because it cracks and leaves bits of ABS inside the cylinder. Huw (25 years ago, 15-Nov-99, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.loc.uk)
