Hi Muskrat, thanks for the feedback and sorry to disappoint you but the short seal holders were the work of the butcher who had the bike years ago. He hacksawed off the shrouds (presumably because they were rubbing through due to the bent legs) left the springs exposed and chromed everything, then proceeded to bush bash the bike and totalled the forks (and I mean totalled them !). I have replaced the legs and fitted new bushes and hard chromed the legs, they slide very nicely now but have reassembled them using the old seals and yoke bearings just to see if I need to get other parts like shrouds and things sorted/painted before I do the final assembly to avoid damaging the new parts......any other thoughts welcome (like where's the best place to get some shrouds, I thought I had found some but they appear to be RR ilo Flash), cheers
