This aluminium friction damper post is produced for TAMIYA TT-01 Type-E chassis and is listed as model F103GT-22/LB. It replaces softer factory posts to provide a stiffer, more reliable fixing point for friction-style dampers on touring car kits.
Compatibility is specific to the TT-01 Type-E series shown in the title, so check your chassis variant before purchase. The component is aluminium and intended for hobbyist use only.
Fit the post by removing the original mounting, aligning the aluminium post with the damper assembly and fastening with the chassis screws where applicable. Use the original screw threads and tighten cautiously to avoid damage to surrounding plastic parts.
Functionally the post improves damper alignment and reduces unwanted movement at the mount, which helps when fine-tuning friction damping settings. It is primarily a mounting improvement rather than a direct damping device.
Keep maintenance simple: verify screw tightness after initial sessions, inspect the interface for wear, and replace the post if significant play develops. Do not apply lubricants or adhesives to the contact areas unless specified by your damper supplier.
