Default Yokomo Works 93

I've managed to aquire (on long term loan - he won't sell) a Yokomo Works 93...at least I believe it's a 93. It's certainly pre-YZ10.

It's been sat for probably the best part of 18 years if not more, and has been slightly cannibalised over time with a number of parts missing or swapped over onto the old ProCat - which I've also got on loan. I'm hoping you can help with where I can find these parts.

I'm after:
Body shell
Front bumper
Turnbuckles
Battery clamps (want to use lipos)
Shocks (might be able to save the rears, but fronts are nowhere to be seen).

Cheers!

Pics!!!!! I think i could hook you up with a bumper repro, is it the same spacing for holes as the 94, or the works?
Bodyshell, Cobra on here, or Team Bluegroove, Shocks, i have a set of OK condition Yokomo ones.
Battery clamps, Fibrelyte, and you'll need to shave the front battery post and add lipo locators for a good job, the posts also need to be raised (washers) 3mm, I've just done this very simple conversion and it works very well!
Hope that helps buddy.

Brian, i think i did msg you bud, it was concerning the fact I've a lot cut for the YZ10 dimensions, that i can drill to fit the works? If that is ok, cool, i can finish you one up as i have to do a couple for a 10talk member too, i reckon i can get on that tomorrow TBH as my time is freeing up of late! I could do larger works ones at a later date, but id need to order more kydex.

bests.......lee

Here's a quick snap I grabbed of it the other night....I've not touched it since.



It's been some time since I had my Yoke Works (probably 1995ish I had mine) so I can't remember much about them now. I just remember they weren't a lot of good for the indoor track we used to run at Worcester as they didn't have enough lock. This one has had some Laser front end parts to try and help out that a bit.

For those that really want to see a neglected Cat....see below! I really want to get this back on the track, but I'm going to attack the Yoke first then attempt this one. This has some sentimental value too as I bought it from the same mate I've loaned it off back in about 1992/3, then sold it back to him when I went to Associated and Yoke. It's still got a good chunk MMS bits in it too, which I piled on back in those days. This one is currently looking more sorry for itself but is more complete.

Has that Cat been at the bottom of the Thames?
