Possible source for some hydraulic parts for Xantias

[octinum]

Speaking of the spheres, damping and all, did anybody venture into separating those "damper" things from the spheres, and mount on something else, like an adapter? I already have a lot on my plate so can't start its own thread but curious.

Came to my mind because the damping elements look like the defining factor between Hydractive 3+ and H3(hyrdopneumatic). I don't remember the case for H2 in Xantiae/XMs but for C5, the sphere pressures for H3 and H3+ are close enough to be interchangeable for corner spheres. Since there are less H2/H3+ variants than the hydropneumatic versions, we can expect shortage in the future.

Do you think it's possible to, say, separate the damping element from the sphere, stick it into a pipe/adapter? That way we would just go and buy regular spheres with similar pressures, remove their own damping elements, and mount on the hypothetical adapter I mentioned. I believe C6 setup is similar to what I've been thinking; the spheres don't have the damping elements, and damping is provided by the (electronically controlled) separate unit which is fixed to the car.

I'm so going to stalk you online and find you to present a bottle of Turkish Raki if I ever travel any country near you. Thanks for giving me tonight's reading!
