  • Veteran Henderson Front Fork unit

    hi folks
    I want to take apart the front shock part of my 1918 Henderson to have a bit of a tidy up in this area.
    Dunno what to expect inside therefore dunno what sort of jig to make up to take the tension of the cap so i can undo it.
    I'm sure there will be two springs in there, compression and rebound. Does anybody have one in bits they can photograph etc or draw a simple layout please.
    I recently took my ACE one apart but they also work in the reverse direction to the early Henderson, ie the whole unit compressed when the bike went over a bump whereas this bike the whole unit extends.
    To add extra points for difficulty this is an original paint bike so trying to avoid any heat etc near it

    thanks
    from New Zealand
    Graeme
