dave Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 hi ... ive just dismantled the forks on my montesa 349 to replace the oil seals .the nylon cones at the bottom of the internal rods look a bit flared out. .the forks stick together on compression (with no oil or springs in)i was wondering if anyone knows where i could find some replacements .....thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feetupfun Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 Yes it's a common failing in those forks. The flare can be machined off which is what I did. I've also seen people make aluminium replacements 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave Posted June 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 Do you think If i carefully filed them that would be near enough ...thanks for your reply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feetupfun Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 How well the anti-bottoming will work will depend on how well you can match the original shape. The way you achieve the shape is not important 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
