AIM Cockers?

[pputkowski]

I was looking into buying one of the AIM pneumatic kit's on ebay and I was wondering if anyone had any kind of experience with aim pneu's? Thanks.

IMO, there's better for the money. If you want a complete kit, look into the Orracle pneus or the Shocktech set. Of course though, the best front block is from different components. For example, if I was going to be keeping my 'Cocker mech, here's what I'd do: CT-3way (WGP), FAT Ram (KAPP)/Shocktech Ram, MicroRock LPR (PPS). But if you're set on a full front block, the CT-3way, STO Ram, and Tickler LPR are great and make up the Orracle set.

Yea, If i had unmlimited money i'd just do all FF parts or maybe nexus but i'm on a budget and the complete kit is only $65 new.

Personally, I'm not huge on either. The rams might be decent, but you don't need the valve and hammer that either of them sell.

personally I think WGP is just like AGD. What comes stock is pretty dam good! I think folks over the years have convincened themsleves otherwise. Just go with the oracle front end..

Heh, surely you can't be talking about the brass pneumatics! :)

uh the brass pneus are pretty good. all 3 parts are foolproof and reliable. The STO lpr is a stock one with chrome plating. the ram is average. The 3 way is just a bit longer throw. Al in all the stock parts look terrible...up untill 04, but they work fine.

I don't know about AIM pneus.
I like the ANS pneu kit.The Jackhammer reg and the ANS ram are both awesome.I would replace the 3 way with a Bomb or Dye.The Bomb is the easiest to time by far.The Dye supposedly has the shortest throw.
Clippard rams are good and fully rebuildable.
Palmer makes a good LPR also.

I agree. However, the comparison with AGD and WGP in this case is invalid. AGD makes one part for each job (mostly, really all you can bring into it is ULE/SS and RT/Classic) that performs the best. WGP makes the brass pneus, STO pneus, Orracle pneus...

I'm not debating how well the brass pneus work. I've got a bunch lying around. But there's better made by WGP.

The brass pneus operate the exact same as the STO pneus. Pwned.
