Fork Top Nuts and Internal Ball and Spring Valve

Hi Guys and Gals, I have just bought a Fantic 200. I have started getting it in order and found today when cleaning and refilling forks with new oil.

That one of the Fork top nuts which has a Grub screw in the middle has one of the Internal Ball and Spring Valve missing.

Now do I actually need these in ? will what little air is passed through this small hole have a big affect on the forks.  Or how about I block off the hole ? will this have an affect on the forks.   But if anybody can point me in the right direction to buy new ones maybe that is what I should do.

I also have another big job to complete, it will not start NO Sparks,  I have ordered a new electronic ignition system from a company called In Motion which does away with the coil etc, so hopefully I should be up and running soon. I think to replace a 27 year old system makes good sense.

I am new to this 1980 twin shock stuff, looking forward to using the forum

Thanks in advance Ken
