I just ordered some new damper rods the ones that are ,made in coventry engineering from LP Williams Triumph spares , for T160 and rob north triples .Also got some new stock springs, hopefully it will restore the front end as it feels a little saggy .

Hi Shelby
Are Coventry the new suppliers of the late Richard Darbys kit? Or are these a new product? Thanks

Great to know they work , I bought some new standard springs as well . Can you remember what oil grade , your using ? Have you tried using the range of oil viscosity as suggested , do you know if there is a low stiction seal , or is that just normal seal ? compared to the Triumph seals . Cheers
