Rumour has it that the  2012 rule book has been completely re written , stripped apart and rebuilt defining every out dated, forgotten or unknow quantity , so you will be able to build your bike for an era class and see what in and whats not......  should make life a hole lot simplier with the grey skies moving away....

Who says you cant use piggy back in pre 75 ???  what do you think thermo shocks are ??  or are you using a differing definition ?  Thermo piggies are standard on all YZ, MX and Dt from 1972'

Yes I was using a differing definition, it’s called Forum shorthand, and I was referring to real shocks, not Thermal Flows (do doubt I just insulted someone then).

I had the same interpretation as Wasp in regards to any reservoir outside of the main shock body being remote.
I thought the rule book actually said something about only Thermal Flow piggybacks being allowed in Pre 75 but can’t see it now, either it’s another rule that’s been changed or I’ve been believing my own dreams again.

Try Charlie Richardson from CRhighperformance in California.
I got mine from him along with seals,springs & damper rods when I first started reusing my 380.
The pipe I ordered earlier this month took less than a week to arrive

If you don't have any joy I can dig my original set out & check their condition, they weren't split or cracked from memory

Did you have any luck with CZ stuff?
I found my old ones & they've gone hard but would probably soften up if you soaked them in brake fluid like is meant to happen with old rubber manifolds.
PM me if you'd like them
