Nitron 'O rings

[Barreti]

I'm going to put my shiny new Nitrons on the back of the Griff to see if the sagging and bouncy NSR is a faulty damper.

I know this is probably a daft question, but better that than bugger them up.

Do the O rings go under the Ali spacers - ie in the little trough in the bush?
And should I grease them a little or put them in dry?

I will be getting the car geo'd ASAP - this is just to test.

As far as I can remember the little round rubber rings fits in the groove in the shocks then you put the metal spacers in, that's how I remember fitting mine

Hope that helps

Best check though

Thanks Gary and you are correct mate

I called Nitron this morning and here is the advice Sam gave me for anyone else who may be searching for this information in the future.

The O ring just sits loosely on the rose joint, under the ali spacer. The spacer will squash it slightly when the shock is tightened up and its just there to keep the crud out of the rose joint.
A little grease will help with this.

You can give the spacers a quick spray with some white grease too, again just to keep the crud out.

What Nitrons and spring rates are you fitting?

I'm interested to hear what you think?

[Barreti]

Springs are Eibach 300f / 350r

I'll have a look on the box for what the Nitron package is. I bought them from a mate who got them for his Chim but has since traded that for a T350t.

See sometimes I can be helpful, should be though as owned the blooming cars for 20 years now so know a little bit even though I can feck them up sometimes

Hi phazed.

The boxes only say NTR Sport for TVR Griffith

There are no markings at all on the dampers other than a warning they are under pressure. No stamping marks or labels and no codes on the boxes,

Those weight springs are a tad above standard.

The NTRs are the standard replacement dampers, you should be ok with them.
