dandan Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Anyone got a lower aluminium spring seat going spare? Or maybe even a scrap Bilstein damper they don't want that I could use the seat from? Many thanks Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 If you are desperate I can take one off a new set of dampers and order another to replace it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks james, I may well take you up on that. When do you think you could whip them off? If you are desperate I can take one off a new set of dampers and order another to replace it. Thanks Chris. How much would you want for one including the postage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 I have to speak with Bilstein today, I'll check their stock and get a price. I have had one before, but I forget the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Still waiting for price and availability, obviously I don't want a set of four dampers with one missing a spring seat in stock Let me know if you get sorted meanwhile, thanks Dan.

Thanks Chris - will keep you posted. how easy are the seats to remove? will a suitable diameter tube/drift and a hammer do it!...........I'm 99% i have a fubared Bilstein in the garage.... Easy A hammer and block of wood would do. You need to turn the damper upside down and tap the seat gently all the way round (it's only an internal shoulder sat on a C clip). A bit of WD40 might be needed for a little soak to free things up if there's any corrosion in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
