Hello guys!
Yambits in UK offers new inner fork tubes for the DT 360 / 1974 (34 mm) at a very good price. I ordered a pair and they look really nice and original.
Does anybody know if there are spare parts available for the original thermal shocks (with separate reservoir)? I know from here that they have been not designed for restoration.... but want to try it anyway ;)

I think, Wessi, in your part of the world, restored a pair.

The post Pete linked to mentions where to get the seals several times...  including seal dimensions.

O-rings are likely standard sizes or you can get kits to make your own...  just need to measure and/or visit an industrial supply with the parts and old o-rings.  (This info could be in the post as well...  I didn't re-read it.)

Sorry for my silly question. I thought Pete‘s link was the document about shocks. Now I found the information that I need
