After around 10 years trying to buy it, i finally got this 97/98 Sintesi Bazooka frame from my brother in law Smile

New project... 97 98 Sintesi Bazooka Restomod. Photo 001

This week i started to service the C50 shock.

the boss C50 marzocchi service time...


Got a new shaft seal and new o´rings all around and its almost done.
Found a old service manual and it now only needs to pressure the IFP with 10Bars, but marzocchi had a special tool for it and ill never find one around here.
If anyone as a clue in how to do it without the tool ill be thankfull for life to you Wink

I PMed MarzocchiMark about it and hope he replyes too...

Hi mate, yes i did manage to get this shock back to life.
MarzocchiMark gave me 2 ifp possible measures.
To pressurize it i had to convert the thread to M6 and adapt a Fox Float pressure tube with schradder valve.
No way i would find the correct marzocchi tool for it, and MarzocchiMark also said that...
