[QUOTE="Chris.R, post: 101816, member: 4043"] Hi Alan Simple solutions are usually best and the Vincent damper seems a simple beast, presently I have driven out the pesky and small pin and replaced the larger of the three O rings with new, at the other end of the piston shaft I have placed one of the lipped seals that Paul suggests on page 71 of into the millennium into the screw cap in place of the brass fitting and two seals. I could have said Hermatite rather than Shellac I suppose I am using a locktite paste which takes time to set just as Hermatite used to in the old days. I will however obtain the parts you suggest and comment that I was a trained plumber not an engineer and have neither a lathe or press in my garage. Thanks Chris [/QUOTE]
