Make me an offer for either or both.

The swinger will come with the cups and bolts for mounting.

Failing that its off to the skip.

When you say "off to the skip", do you mean like out to the curb? :'(

if it's literally off to the skip I'm happy to may a small amount plus postage - only cause I wouldn't want them to go in the bin... let me know your details.

Hi Dom,
I sent you an email and have just realised that the "carbon swinger" isn't a top of the range flashy shock from Manitou, it's the swingarm.

D'OH!

Still interested however as I'm a hoarder and want to keep my 5500 going as long as possible, so any spares are good to snap up when they turn up.

For the benefit of us all, and so we can perhaps sympathise, why do you find yourself with only the back end of an OZ? Surely the advantage of plastic is that it can be glued back together? (as I have done a few times already)

Cheers
Luke

I emailed you as I would have been up for the swing arm, but I just got a "bounce" from your provider as "account disabled"

I've saved face as a result.
Have you been so flooded by requests for these parts that you've had to disable your account?  ;)

 :-\I dont see why I would as my swing arm has a broken cable guide and the Astro will match the Genesis I have for the front. But I wont have the bits for the sake of it, if they are not suitable in any way I will leave them for somebody else.
