Front Fork Lower Allen Bolt
Bryanj:
Yup but square drive hex keys were not common when the manual was written, now they are easy to get, even long ones from at least snap on

I have just used a hand impact driver and a few taps with a hammer to nip them up.
Regarding the copper washers, just rub them over a flat surface with 600 wet'n'dry to clean and heat to red colour with a blow torch to anneal them Never had one leak so far.

Athame57:
I think, if I remember right from Nurse Julies rebuild that replacing the allen bolt can be a pain because the pipe is reluctant to recieve and needs to be restrained or something to prevent rotation?
exvalvesetdabbler:
You're right George, there's nothing so stop it spinning round inside other than a small amount of friction, hence the need for a rattle gun or impact driver. It's the same when it comes to undoing them, about half a turn and the whole lot just spins round.
