cbr600 Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 (edited) I've started the restoration of my TR7V8, and stripped the front suspension off. Looking at the spax strut inserts they have several rings of rust on the chrome damper tube, presumably where the strut has sat in differnet positions whist its been in storage for 8years!! I'm not sure whether these will be ok (seals etc), or whether I shoul dreplace them as a matter of course, any suggestions?? Thanks Update:- ...I seem to have answered my own question, looking at the damper tube now ive stripped the struts down, they look pretty bad, so new it is.

COLONEL BOGEY Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 Hi Cbr600, I agree with you there they do look a bit ropey,no use taking any chances. All the best Greg. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cinnobar Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 Not worth getting them refurbed, easier to replace the strut inserts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
