Default Will a RS500/T4 turbo damper fit a T34?
sick of my bailey damper rattling all the time, and ive broken a couple of gen ford dampers in the past, so wondered if the T4/RS500 dampers fit the T34 housings? supposed to be better arent they?

Cheers

I never had any issues with mine - never rattled at all.

Although when I came to break the car I realised this had cracked on one of the joins and was only a matter of time before it fell apart

Jan,
Harvey did mine, and what he did was cut that off a scrap 2wd head and weld it to my EECIV one - it looks as it would if Ford had done it .

No, all he needs is the damper mounting bracket cut of the 2wd head ?
