I've decided to do a "how to" video about restoring a damper. In this case it's a Showa from a 916. A lot of other dampers are very similar so it might be helpful for anyone thinking of rebuilding one. Part one is all about the strip down. It's quite long and detailed but hopefully some of you will find it interesting. Here's the link.
I have uploaded a 2nd video on the subject. A little shorter as the first one was way too long. Thank you if you endured it and hopefully this one will be of some use or interest to you.
I have a used Showa from a 2000 MV 750 F4S for a modest sum plus postage for anyone who wants to get stuck in.
