DAI, and everyone else in the UK: as you probably know, I stock all the
other lip seals commonly used in T-types, they are double-lipped type and
made in Taiwan (no comments please!!) but I have not been asked for these
damper seals before (so now I shall have to get some in stock...)
BTW, after years of bouncing up & down exposed to road dirt, bits of grit
often get embedded in the old rubber seals and score the shaft. This could
be polished away or if really bad the shaft can be brought back to size. Now
where did I put that spare set of dampers I bought at Beaulieu several years
ago?
