cld any 1 tell me whats best way 2 firm front end up on series 1 ,is the only way 2 weld damper brackets on and go down that route.

dampers only slow down rebound, get some better springs.....not rock hard ones though.....just firm road ones.

I use the camlam "Ultimate Progressive" springs,been very pleased with them, http://lambretta.co.uk/catalog/product_ ... ts_id=3657

MB progressive springs in mine, but if your trying to firm it up to stop dive after fitting a hydraulic brake then you'd need to look at other alternatives

I've just did it to my s1. Added escort dampers (not so great I think, but made a difference). Adding MB progressive springs improved it no endy. Oh, and get new bearings, rubbers and check the forks are all straight as well. Can't go wrong

I used the cambridge lambretta "ultimate" springs in my series 1 - about £15 for the pair, along with escort dampers - It handles really really nicely! by far the best handling scooter I have ridden

also when I did mine I watched this video a couple of times (just to make sure I'd got it) being as I'd never done it before,found it invaluable http://www.surreyscooterservices.com/ssstv/ click on number 4 fork re-build.As regards dampers ,you could get your links converted by shocky on here,had mine done by him top quality.
