Hi Daniel
I made some Mohair gaiters for the rebound springs over two years ago. I didn't show them in these photos, but they are holding up well, although very greasy. These were the first pair which I hand sewed!!!! Since then I've sold a few but I don't have any spare at the moment because it depends on MrsW and her sewing machine.
You can see in picture no22 that there is nothing around the spring except grease, so they have worked well. When I get to the end of this job, I have a modification up my sleeve which will add something else to the gaiters for a bit more protection.
Hi Dave,
Yes I know because I bought one set from you by another channel
Keep up informed if you improve it.
But I enlarged the picture you posted and it was an optical effect. I had the idea to make a gaiter for the lower part of the cross head because it is very exposed and difficult to keep very clean, but I fear to retain some damp between the cross head and the gaiter.
I am very interested about what happen on your KP because I have exactly the same set up (Hard chrome KP from JW, bushes from PM - oversized as mine was originally fitted with Devol - and bearing + shortened spring from PM).
BR.
Daniel.
