[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 96368, member: 456"] Well the photographs show why you found the front end too stiff. With a Comet you only need the outers. Moving over to one of the new steering heads, the newly specified springs and an AVO damper would be a revelation to you. It shows just how good the front end can be. I don't have an old set of springs available to check lengths and spring gauge but they look like original springs for a twin. It is possible that the outers settled and a previous owner thought he would stiffen it up or it might have been on a sidecar at some stage. [/QUOTE]
