yeah, the Spanish ones have larger [9mm?] holes, and the fork bracket is the stud, rather than the two clamps, if you get what I mean, i didn't explain that very well...
Indian ones for me, avoid the shiny ebay ones with garden hose for bushes

I think most grp4 racers use fancy dampers like the bitubos. Have a look at the race pics I've posted to see what they are using fellas.

Tanks for all your feedback people. Appreciate it.

TIP:

use mini front dampers on 9mm serveta forks / links.
adjustable, good quality / vfm.

Are these the escort ones. It's not very clear.

They look good.
What about cutting the black bit off, turning upside down and making some 8mm top hats??

Where can you get them from and what do you ask for?

Do they damp only one way and if so, on compression or rebound?

EDIT: http://www.minisport.com/acatalog/Red_G ... _Mini.html

Are they the correct length?

Also very interested: there appear to be different lengths....

They are matey, LCGB superdealer so not your normal e-bay trash, just good ol donny lad.

they are dampening both ways. like sebac shocks or escorts or riv ones.

for the length,...too lazy to go in the garage or visit a mates mini-shed...
will post in few days..
the dampers are top. the quality is good. and they also look ok (on a late jet / lince / gp-racer) compared to the door-opener hydraulics / "alloutside" suzuki-chrome-kits on the market.
there are other manufacturers also like gaz, etc..
just check the mini shops.

Those Mini dampers do look interesting, don't they?
