Anyone know anything about these?

Made by Spax, adjustable, same size as rear Morris Minor Armstrong Dampers.
When I search online I keep getting information about milking equipment valves.

Interesting links. Thanks for finding them. I'm guessing Google thinks that if a search is from NZ, it must be about the dairy industry.
I suppose the mentioned " special technical department operated to cope with inquiries" is long gone.

Just vary the flow with different grades of oil - SAE 40 is highly recommended.

i once saw some with added copper tubing and a valve inbetween the two cylinders so you could adjust the flow and therefore dampening inside the shocks.

i dont think it ever caught on

These ones look like you can adjust the pressure on the valves. which you could set up on the bench by adding a washer under the spring inside

To add a bit more info about these, - they have an internal spring that re-centers them.
