The front forks are of link- or girder-type, but redesigned with the object of providing forks which will operate efficiently over thousands of miles without attention, even lubrication. They have Nitralloy spindles working in porous bronze, oil-impregnated bushes. Side-thrust washers at the top links are also of this oil-retaining bronze. An anti-rattle mounting in the form of a compressed rubber bushing is provided for the knob of the steering damper, which can therefore be left right "off" without any clatter occurring. Another improvement is a Bakelite knob for adjusting the friction dampers incorporated in the bottom links. http://www.dropbears.com/m/models/classic/vincent.htm Friction shock absorber: A shock absorber in which friction discs are inserted at the point where the two arms are joined, now no longer used http://www.motorera.com/dictionary/FR.HTM#FrictionShockAbsor...

You tighten up or loosen the wing nut to have more or less friction and more or less damping between the plates. http://www.vintagecarparts.co.uk/en/list andre hartford shoc... |
