The BF uses 2.2 tires so there are lots of options.

I used a Posca ultra fine marker. Worked pretty well. Its an acrylic so it was easy to clean up if I made a mistake. Terry

Use a M3 screw to form the threads in the part.

Your results made me rethink how I do my own cleaning, but Ive never had my bearings pit like yours. Even after a weekend at the beach, mine still came out shiny. Weird.

Cheap chinese materials??? Bearings are cheap these days, just order more, and chalk it up to experience???

I have a single I can send your way. That way you only need a pair, which is easier to find than three??? PM me your mailing address. Terry

With the upcoming release of the CC02 Ford Baja Bronco, I did s little research. Found this interesting tidbits. https://performance.ford.com/enthusiasts/newsroom/2021/05/stroppe-s-baja-bronco.html

Go outside and smash a TT02 on the ground a few times. That’ll relieve some stress…. 😛😛😛

I have an old screw driver that happens to go through the center hole of 1150 bearings nicely. I usually stick the bearings on there, hit them with wd40, and spin with my finger (or pull along my table). I keep doing this until they feel smoother. Then I wash them with hot water and Dawn and after drying apply 3in1oil. Bearings have gotten cheap enough that I get them in bulk and replace them as necessary. Which reminds me…

New roll bar on the CC02. Likely a vintage Pro-Track for BF. I bought this used on ebayz and hit it with some 3000 grit and metal polish. After an hour or so I got most of the road rash out. I think it came out nice.

I have cleaned dirty screws and metal bits in a mason jar with rubbing alcohol and table salt. Put it all in and shake it up for a couple of minutes. The alcohol cuts most greases and the salt acts as a mild abrasive. No plastic, the alcohol will make it brittle. Terry

My battery pack for my audio recorder fried 5 minutes before Sonic Youth hit the stage. I was so *******ed I almost walked out. I’m glad I didn’t, it was a great show…

Maybe someone can do up a list for the Super Mini shocks? I’ve never messed with them since I’m a buggy/truck guy.

I might do a CVA1 list, but some of those are way out of print, like the blue Super Manta Ray shocks… You do bring up an imprtant point though, and that is that some of the CVA1 parts have the same letter designation as the newer CVA2 parts, and part number is key here.
