Plunger shrouds?

Hi Adam,

I bought a set of plunger shrouds recently from Will Horgan at Stainless Classics, www.stainlessclassics.com Not cheap but a good fit and superb finish, He also does a lot of other parts for singles, he has used my stuff for patterns. Hope this helps.

Ian.

I had the same problem and I found a piece of stainless with the right inside diameter, then had the outside diameter turned down.

Make a nylon insert for the stainless so as you can hold the nylon in the chuck and a have a couple of inches inside the piping. The polish to a good finish. Hope this is of use.

Sorry adam the previous message I left re the Plunger shrouds, I had made shrouds for the front forks and NOT plunger shrouds.
