Trophy Sachs Protection.

[MarcB]

After months of testing and looking for something i have found the best thing to protect my front sachs dampers.

I have used non adhesive, water tight/proof, air tight silicone tape and its truly amazing on how good this stuff is.
I have managed to get my hands on 7 rolls of the stuff to change it every year and also put on my spare set.

Going to be sending a couple of rolls to @TonkaTruck so he can test this stuff also.

You my friend are uniquely OCD in a good way.

You my friend are uniquely OCD in a good way.

Have you seen how bad these can rot with salt and road grim ?
I have seen at least 2 dampers that needed wielded as they snapped due to the elements and the metal rotting away
With spending near on £1K on a refurb i think £45 is a small price to pay :up:

Great job, when mine are due a refurb, might look into getting some, see the sell it on ebay

@Mikeyjp
I never bought mine from Ebay, I actually got it from a friend who used it years ago on a pipe that broke under his sink.
I have tried and tested this stuff in the shower and sealed a few items and it works a treat.
I have a mixture of black and red tape and the best thing about this is its non adhesive so there is no stickiness at all and no mess.

Its truly magic

Self amalgamating tape?

Looking at images on Google for Self amalgamating tape its not what i have used.
Its almost identical to Samco / forge hoses

I suppose if you actually drive your Sachs equipped Clio it's a good idea! :wink:

As well as using the tape i have now got this clear stone chip stuff to protect the stickers.

I have around 2 meters of the stuff.

Stuff to protect stickers?!?! Isn't that a bit OTT? May aswell just stick the car in a bubble in a barn somewhere.

Marc,

If you are able to spare both some of that black tape and the clear film to protect the stickers, then I wouldn't mind some for my dampers please before I fit them to the car in a few weeks' time.

PM me if you can sort me out and let me know how much?

@Ash J

Yeah i have loads of it so will sort something out.
Im already sending some items to a friend

 

[iimushroomzii]

Can't believe two of you want to stick stickers, over stickers, to protect stickers..?

 

[bozothenutter]

Why not clearcoat the dampers?
