SPAX DAMPERS

SPAX DAMPERS

Recently introduced by Spax Ltd., of Fortress Road, N.W.5, a range of adjustable hydraulic and telescopic shock-absorbers are designed as replacement units. A pair of the telescopic units were tested on a 1957 Ford Anglia over a distance of several thousand miles. Experiments during this time with different settings, ranging from very soft to fairly hard, indicated that the units, named ” Variflo,” have a considerable advantage over the nonadjustable type of damper. At.,C,2 15s. each, the only fault of the ” Variflo ” units is their slightly additional weight and a rather inaccessible control knob.
