I'm fitting a Reynolds steering damper and have all the parts, or so I thought.
its on a featherbed inter and so the top yoke has the rubber mounted handlebars and so I think there should be a spacer below the Reynolds wing nut but the spare parts shows a spring. A spring would make sense as it would keep the damper from vibrating loose?
Does anyone have a bike with one on to advise, spring or spacer which would be in view?
Thanks
Mark

Mine has a spacer tube (no washer it doesn't come loose.) The central bolt assy was made for me.
Do you want a photo?

One of my bikes has the damper shown in attached picture. It has no washer or spacer under the wing nut. A previous owner had fitted a rubber band around the wing nut, probably to keep it from turning.

On the early featherbeds, there is a spring, on the bolt for tightening the fuel tank strap. I don't know if these are easily obtainable, but, they are just right for the steering damper.
