Oddjob:
You could try this Ted, remove the circlip, knock the seal back down to the bottom of the shelf and then fit 2 of these, https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/372421144641?hash=item56b607b041:g:tlsAAOSw0NlbiUol&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAA4I%2FsHyGiSMZ9YZ%2Ba020U60gNkob1Cv7cHVttJkwDCZNq9QKHmRV1VTfNemcNLlDEs5MVN5tSUojX7Vy%2FsOdyzcUsYScOvHRO5sVORwuzxrYtYx9lViCmLpfh1n3Dua8TFyaqn7UzkzmSZy5owihdA%2FXvHxi2HqTx3mkm4wkbmySSXQDhjzvRDd2zeBwAG0TmN6benfDFLP35Yw3eRp450COeDomd5Cyce5rOGxoh%2BIT2sD2xIWnAlxjfjDVcstj19GwSr8mZ%2Fq072d9ox0q0DRc5TFm8GdtHKEdJ9sq%2BPv01%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR_S_gMrQYQ

You'd need to enlarge the hole from 32mm to say 37mm to give it a small clearance so it can't touch the stanchion, saying that they are nylon so wouldn't really harm it if it did but better if it didn't. Next time fit the washers under the seal, if you ever do them again that is.

Pyramid do a oil seal shown as 35 x 48 x 13/14.5 looks interesting not sure what the double height means perhaps comes with a spacer?

I have messaged them for details of the meaning 13/14.5 in the description.

I didn't take it that way the top of the fork legs have plenty of marks on the top edges where seals have been removed over the decades.

mickwinf:
I have done a few fork seals and have always wondered about the gap, i tap the seal down only so the top is level with the circlip groove rather than to the bottom of the hole, wonder which is correct?

I am hoping the seal I have found at Pyramid cures this issue I am waiting for a reply. I will post the outcome when I get a reply.
