This aluminium friction damper post is a scale RC accessory made for use on TAMIYA TT-01 Type-E chassis and is listed under model F103GT-22/LB. It provides a firmer mounting point than many stock posts and improves repeatability when fitting friction-style dampers to touring car models.
Compatibility is limited to the TT-01 Type-E variants named in the title, so confirm your chassis type before installing. The item is constructed from aluminium and is intended for model RC use only.
Fitting is straightforward for experienced builders: remove the original post, align the aluminium post with the damper assembly and secure it using the chassis screws where appropriate. Do not force fasteners or change factory screw positions; use existing threads and apply light torque to avoid damaging nearby plastic parts.
From a setup perspective, the post helps keep damper orientation consistent and reduces mount slop, making damping adjustments more predictable. It functions primarily as a stable attachment point rather than an active tuning component.
Maintenance is basic: check screw tightness after initial runs, inspect interfaces for wear where aluminium meets plastic, and replace the post if significant play develops. Avoid applying grease or adhesive to the mounting interface unless directed by the damper maker.
