Home made shock socks

[TheCount]

The other day while i was replacing the broken rear diff cup, my missus noticed how dirty my shocks were. I told her that you can get covers for them & i haven't found any i like here in Aus.


This is what her awesome mum came up with.


Umbrella material. works great & you could have any colour u desire.


Fitting: either cover the spring only & tuck the sock inside spring, ( as i have done )


or you could cover the whole shock & use cable ties to hold the sock.

Will rubber balloons work?

 

[TheCount]

They might, would have to be large ones. But they would split fairly easily i would imagine.

hmmm I'm a newbe but I did try useing rubber balloons but they rip way to easy. I'm going to try bike tubes next and see how.

Stitched up a few nice sets myself. Used strong nylon fine mesh material. Work awesomely. Also made the air filter outerwears, that was my daughters job, she's great with the over locker.......

I've used rubber balloons on 1/8 scales, they were easy and durable... However they ended up melting and making a mess of the shocks like rubber worms in my tackle box.
