Always told the 500 item was the best, and the Bailey is more of a hanger than a damper.

I bought the RS500 replicated one from GGR for £130.

I have a 4X4 head so needed the Spec-R bracket to fit the damper.

Was almost impossible to find but eventually got sorted by someone on here

Bailey one is only a ''hanger'' so doesn't dampen any vibration and allows the exhaust manifold studs to crack easily, which is what happened mine!!!

Apparently Cosworth designed this damper especially for the RS500 to dampen vibrations.

Everyone says it's the best.

Fitting mine next weekend hopefully.

Philip.

Thanks for that.
That was'nt what I expected to see. I was expecting to see something like a Bailey damper, I've never seen an RS500 one before.
Anyone got any pics of one fitted please??

Looks like a complete replacement, good stuff.

Shame I've got a 4x4 head.
