These Andre Steering dampers were fitted to a range of competition machines from the late 1920's and early 1930's.  
 
Please Note: This is the earlier type with only two friction plates, for the later type fitted from the early 1930's through to the 50's, please look here.
 
As can be seen in the last image above, there are a huge amount of individual parts in one of these dampers. Details of these are as follows:
Knob - Moulded in ABS using Kingpin Components mould, these look the same as originals but are considerably stronger
Brass Body - CNC machined from a solid piece of brass
Fork clamp - Machined in house from stainless steel, identical to the original except it will never go rusty 
Tapered plug - As above, machined in house from stainless steel
Friction Plates - Made in our own workshop from Acetal
Steel plates - All laser cut in stainless steel and folded in house using specially made folding tools
Star washer - Laser cut in stainless steel and formed in house
Knob fixing pillar and left hand screw - Made by us using stainless steel
Thackery washer, bolt and spring washer - The only 3 off the shelf items on the steering damper!
