Short update. Late last year I replaced my fork seals with aftermarket versions. Didn't see that as an issue. But it turned out to be a false economy. They leaked sufficiently for the latest MOT to document them weeping.

I had already bought some OEM items, just hasn't gotten around to fitting them. Did them a couple of weeks ago. So this update is to say they work . So if you need them, just get the OEM items - about the same cost as well.

Additionally, I printed a driver to fit them. It's a perfect fit and makes seating them properly a matter of seconds. I can email the STL if anyone is interested. I printed two because I was in a hurry - got two machines on the go so it was a race, lol. There are two pieces as per pics below. £7.50ea posted if anyone interested.
