June 20, 20179 yr hi ... ive just dismantled the forks on my montesa 349 to replace the oil seals .the nylon cones at the bottom of the internal rods look a bit flared out. .the forks stick together on compression (with no oil or springs in)i was wondering if anyone knows where i could find some replacements .....thanks
June 21, 20179 yr Yes it's a common failing in those forks. The flare can be machined off which is what I did. I've also seen people make aluminium replacements
June 21, 20179 yr Author Do you think If i carefully filed them that would be near enough ...thanks for your reply
June 21, 20179 yr How well the anti-bottoming will work will depend on how well you can match the original shape. The way you achieve the shape is not important
