I've tried both Apple and TruChoice for my Armstrongs.
They'll tell you no one supplies the bits needed to
rebuild them.
I've been trying to do the original dampers on my very
original '61 Lotus Seven for a while now... everyone
insists the best I can do is to buy new.
I'd love to hear it if someone comes up with a source!
Cheers,
John Donohoe
