Donor car for spares

I'm going to guess that the shocks are too long. Looking at the rear ones, they seem to be the right shocks, but don't appear to have internal spacers to limit down travel. There's also too many spring pre-tensioner.

The 53155 pink shocks have shorter body than the mini CVAs, so there's quite a lot of contrast between the two setups.

How to make ta01/02 universals from modern parts...

Maybe it's worth adding that the TA02, FF, and TA03 UJs could be approximated by the F201 UJ + 44mm shafts. The original shafts are 45mm though.

@OCD I've just tried it out. F201 axles and 44mm swing shafts are almost perfect replacements for #53310 (TA03) and #53172 (TA02 + FF).
