..The monowheel rubber suspension block that is! But I hear black is this season's colour?

Can anyone remember the history here - I have an early classic (84) and am rebuilding the monowheel suspension Embarassed

I do have dampers and the pink block looks to be in good condition (and is supplemented by a 8mm plywood sheet!).

Any offers of parts from trigear convertees welcome (based Sussex)

Hi Howard

Red was replaced with black while I was building #109. Can't exactly
remember why but I think the red had the wrong sort of elasticity or
something.

I also think it was a free upgrade.

My red one got cut in 2 on a diagonal and made a fine pair of chocks with a
rope though the holes.

Regards

Pete

In 84?? When was the first kit delivered? I have kit 165 and my block is red but the centre holes were pre damper mod so the holes are too small. I just bought a new block and they sent a black one.

Hi Howard,

Take care. You will still need the wooden spacer as the new block is the same size and seems to be softer. Without it the plane will be considerably lower to the ground.
Got the T-Shirt on that one !

OK, thanks for that.

I thought the black block was supposed to be harder than the pink/red one. Why the change?
