Does anyone know the colour code, for the red paint on the Marzocchi shocks, and where I can buy it from ?



thanks in advance.

If you are painting, try Fiat Swift Red - that's what I used on one set. The other set I had powder coated

Where did you get replacement seals etc Charlie? Ebay? Thanks

Anybody on here refurbish for members?

Be aware the air reservoir caps can be corroded into the housing, if you want to borrow a special tap to chase the threads in the housing, let me know I have one you can borrow.

Charlie and I have both had to destroy the screw in tops to service and then salvage a cap from another set of worn out housings.

You do find some that come out easy as well.

Excellent. Thanks for the links and comments.

I still have a few bits from the many shocks I bought to strip and cannibalise. I dunno if I have any reservoir caps left, but if you get stuck for anything, give me a shout and I'll check if I have anything in the shed

Seal kits were on a 4 week waiting list from Marzocchi last time I looked, strip yours first to be sure you CAN actually get them apart without damage before committing to a seal kit that could turn out to be no good to you ;)

Use a good quality suspension oil when you rebuild. I used Motorex in mine but if you cannot get that, use Motul - they are the best shock oil manufacturers bar none. Silkolene,Putoline,Rock etc - all go to a milky piss in next to no time.
