[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 161525, member: 456"] Carl the fitting instructions are too large to put on here or in a PM so I need an email address to send them to. You can have them as either a WORD file or a PDF. The JE stem is tuned with the correct spring strengths and the corrrect length of damper. You might get away with the damper once I know the combined length of the damper plus lower eye bolts but I doubt that your springs would be suitable. The new ones are only £30 for the pair so not too painful. The new steering head complete with stainless steel concentrics to replace the eccentrics and four ball races each side will be about £400 but you do need to get someone to open out the rear eyes in the lower link to take 32 mm diameter bearings. The new springs are actually 16.5" long so you will be able to decide whether you could make your springs work. The rate of the new springs is 36 lbs/inch for middle weight people but I also have 30s, 33s and 45s. [/QUOTE]
