Chris,I found that a couple of dabs of braze or solder on the very ends worked well,just file off the excess. Or you could try loctite bearing fit compound.---...
Use a grease to hold the bushes in place, the fork oil should disolve the grease later. Andy Lorenz ... From: bty61070151 To: BSABantam@yahoogroups.com Sent:...
Andy, Can I assume that you have never replaced these. In theory they are a press fit on the end of the leg. Chris, I assume that the replacement bushes have a...

They should do.How much oil did you use in each leg? Should be 70-75ml per leg.Unless you have a good box-spanner,it can be hard to get the nut in the middle...

Hi Dougie, Thanks for your note. I put 75ml (or an 8th of a pint on my jug!) into the forks but the trace does seem to have stopped. Regarding the top centre...

The strip down continues: Front forks all stripped down today... realised I'm missing a couple of bits and managed to lose one of the ball bearings from the...

Chris, Can I assume that you have replaced the thin washer under each top nut. Also, the oil seal holder on the fork leg will benefit from a smear of joint ...
Chris, Never seen a spring washer under the top nuts. The ones fitted should be plain steel(although I may have changed mine around about 1970..perhaps someone...
