Hey Jimbo,
As the previous poster said the plastic RTR shock caps are a direct fit but however a little pricey at £10ish a pair they are also a tuning option. The aluminium bleeder caps are designed to use an O ring as a seal rather than using the rubber bladder that sits inside the standard shock cap. TLR shocks work at their best when you run no rebound in the shocks, zero rebound is when you push the shock shaft into the shock body (with the spring off) and the shaft does not get pushed out again through the pressure/air in the shock. Achieving 0% rebound with the standard bladders is very very difficult even impossible in my opinion as the bladder just creates pressure in the shock body that will always force the shock shaft out.
I found changing my shocks to this configuration and replacing the standard shock O rings with the TLR low friction type (comes in a bag of 8 for around £3 if I remember) was probably the biggest improvement in handling I made with my 22 especially when handling small bumps and rutted tracks where the standard shocks would bounce a lot more.
Hope this helps
Chris
