Any suggestions? Book says Armstrong 624. I found an old thread from 03 and wondered where peoples thoughts are on this now.

Thanks
 
I am using motorcycle damper fluid - Motul 20W30 - in my leaver arm shocks. Available from my local motorcycle parts shop.

This is used in the front forks of motorcycles and is formulated to be non-frothing. 20W30 maes for a nice stiff ride.

Here is a link that may be helpful:
