Hello,
unfortunately I tried to contact Spax in the past and they answered: "....We don't do any off-the-shelf dampers for the Bristol 409 any more, and we don't have any data to help spec them for you either. I've attached details on the KSX dampers we do instead, so please specify a pair of those in the correct sizes for yourself instead." So they were not so helpful. I'll try to figure it out, but if some fellow 408/410 owner has any data about the shocks installed in his car it would be a great help. Thank you! Stefano

The ones I bought from ACCS were from the GAZ GT range ( 408 )
Gaz Shocks / shock absorbers, suspension struts and lowering kits You could ask GAZ or ACCS -- the other car club is also working on new sources - not BOC :-)

I have a pair of unused selectaride dampers. Clearly they have been unused for a very long time. I would gladly sell them, but I suspect they wouldn't work very well, so not a good idea. Perhaps the best destination would be a donation to the Bristol Heritage Trust as museum pieces.
YES, you've got it, they could be displayed as a pair of Bristol's dampers (note apostrophe).

I think these SPAX will work for the 407 to 409

Koni Dampers
There has been some mention of Koni dampers and Bristols: if I remember correctly, the reason that all models were so comprehensively covered was that the importer/main agent (?) in the 1970s had a good collection of the cars for his own use.
When I replaced mine about a decade ago, I had to fit Spax adjustable ones as no others at the time were thought to be the correct specification for the V8 cars. George
