Title: Fork seal clips
Post by: JustcallmeMrT on December 24, 2014, 02:08:20 PM

Hi all, I've been working on my forks and they're coming along nicely.

I've just sent my fork tubes to be re chromed and now I'm getting ready for the rebuild.  Can anyone tell me where I can find those wire clips that retain the fork seal?   The seals and dust caps are easy enough to find but can't seem to find those clips - mine were VERY rusted.

You will not find new wire ones. Here is a better one that is used on the earlier Honda's >> http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Internal-Circlips-30mm-120mm-/191429586946?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&var=&hash=item2c9217b002
