It’s been more than 10 years since I rebuilt my Manitou and I’ve since forgot the purpose of that component. Is there a chance it could be replaced with an additional section of elastomer?

 

[BrushedAluminium]

Unfortunetly extra elastomer wouldnt do the job, the part need adjusts the compression of the elastomer I currently have a damaged one in place but really need a replacement/spare.

What exactly is damaged?

 

[BrushedAluminium]

The part circled is seized and aluminium adjuster is rounded off

 

[fguki]

Yes ...because its a left handed thread (!!!) and few people know that. They turn it counter clockwise and wonder why it doesnt come out. Then they use pure brutality and afterwards wonder why they wrecked the parts! duuuuuude.....

Yeah it sucks but something will come along. any help appreciated!
