After an annoying period getting spares and finding they are wrong I decided to make a start on something anyway.
Stripped one of the suspension struts today.
Some rust on the stainless section I was pleased came away with use of 800, 1000, 1200 and then 1500 emery cloth and hasn't pitted. £152 saved there which was a big relief (also the difference between the project carrying on and not carrying on).
Internally all good. Top seal destroyed as expected so will need new ones of those, fork oil and that's it. Dust seals good after a clean.
Going to sand, spray and clear coat the forks before reassembly and make them look a little more snazzy.
Also interestingly there's a top adjustment feature which does no adjusting as the thread doesn't locate into anything. Wonder if they have been bodged at some point?
Nice to have done something on a day I lacked motivation!
