Great selection of Mini ones here.

Anyone got any recommendations on ease of fitment and suitability of any of these? [On a Jet with 9mm studs of course.]

ECP sell Mini shocks from around £9 each, just wondered if they're too stiff for a Lambretta front end?

Beware the standard MK1 Mini front dampers my friends: right length and diameter/fit...but they are 1:1 damping/rebound.......

I have some Mini dampers, you need to get lowered ones.

These look decent value "lowered" ones and adjustable so maybe better suited on the lowest settings for a Lambretta. They do look very "Fat" though.

I've always questioned that with those using steering dampers but they still seem to like them.
