A brilliant solution. Potatoes roasted in duck fat - nothing better.
I've fitted on my 1930 car the "plastic" damper discs supplied by https://www.suspensionsupplies.co.uk/dampers They do appear to be "stiction-free" though, to be honest, I can't tell any difference between those and just-rebuilt standard units on my '29 which had started to groan horribly. The standard type of course run against brass discs, but the "plastic" don't need these and run metal-to-metal. As the bare metal will eventually rust, will performance degrade (or even improve) when this happens? As yet, nobody has an answer and probably never will until several years have passed.
