Damper piston rod seals
I have an old but little used early Spax GP damper, its used on a hillclimb car so doesnt get much track time ( It gets more action on the trailer too and from the hill). The piston rod seal has failed .Spax are no longer able to service these dampers. Is there anywhere that may be able to replace the seals, re gas and relube them?. Would the gas have been in a bag or free below the floating piston?

Camberley Auto Factors service Koni dampers in the UK - you could call them and ask if they'll do Spax.

Unless you need that specific damper it would be cheaper to get their latest ones.
