This aluminium friction damper post is made to suit TAMIYA TT-01 Type-E chassis and carries the model code F103GT-22/LB. It replaces weaker stock posts to give a more secure, repeatable mounting point for scale friction dampers on touring car builds.
Only fit this post to TT-01 Type-E variants as listed in the title; confirm your chassis version prior to fitting. The component is aluminium and intended strictly for modelling use.
To install, remove the original post, position the aluminium post against the damper assembly and secure using the chassis hardware where applicable. Use the original screw threads and tighten carefully to avoid stripping plastic parts or altering factory alignment.
In practical setup work the post helps maintain damper position during adjustments and reduces unwanted movement at the mount, which can aid in achieving consistent damping feel while testing friction settings.
Routine inspection is recommended: retorque screws after the first few runs, watch for thread wear where aluminium meets plastic, and replace the post if looseness appears. Keep lubricants and adhesives away from the mounting interface unless the damper instructions say otherwise.
