Does the 222 has any shock absorber ?? If so where are they located and how do they look? Martin

Hi Martin.

Do you mean the real one or the Armortek model ?

The Armortek kit is not fitted with them as standard, though Vince Abbott has fitted RC ones to special brackets.

The real 222 had shock absorbers which went up through the centre of the suspension springs as shown here:
