Hi all apologies first for daft newbie question but I'm rebuilding my forks and want to know if you replace the pushrod as well as the spring and buffers. The rods are straight and clean and the ball ends look fine considering one spring was in five piece's. Also any recommendations on good quality springs and suppliers as I've been burned a few times so far buying crap of so called lambretta specialist
Cheers
Cheers

personally I'd prefer to use a GOOD USED ORIGINAL Innocenti part rather than some remade stuff.
If your rods are undamaged and are nice and straight then i would use them- make sure all the old grease is removed from within the rods and that the 3 lubrication holes at the ball end are clear.
When rebuilding, you cannot use too much grease on all these components.

I agree with Chris on the rods.As for springs I have two lambretta's,a series two and a series tree,they both have progressive springs and buffers from Scootopia and I have no complaints at all

I've probably got a pair of good springs out in the shed, They will need thoroughly cleaning but they're yours for the postage if that helps.
