Title: Seal mate update
Post by: rayboy68 on August 22, 2018, 20:57:23

Hello blokes,
A little update on the fork seal mate, as a few of you know I had a seep from the left fork leg, I ordered one of those seal mates off eBay for £7, it arrived today. now I haven't had chance to go out yet and try it properly but bouncing the front on the drive a few times as recommended and no oily leg so I'm hopeful its done the trick but the tester I think will be taking it out.
Watch this space. TTFN

£7  :icon_exclaim: for a bit of flexi plastic, we used to use a piece of negative film strip (what came with your pictures from truprint etc)...
