    It was bought as a 25mm seal but mistakes do happen so I’ll measure it when it is stripped in the morning just to be sure.

    Thanks,

    Darren

    Ooooh! I'm pretty sure its a 25mm seal, but a pic from the top would lay that one at rest.

    I’ll check in the morning Nick. To be honest I’ve had that much fun stripping and reassembling this 77 for my friend I’m dreading it being finished so it would be no bother.

    I’ve even posted a wtb for a 97k now. I can have my own to play with then 😎

    Thanks,

    Darren

    Ps, what’s the difference to look at between 25mm and 26mm seals?

    Thanks,

    As my cohort from sunny Saltburn might say - Thanks folks, I'm here all week.

    If you know, you know. I can tell from 100 feet, but thats why I'm a demi-god in these matters.

    seal sizing

    I never use abrasive paper ,I use a drill to spin them in the comp tube to "wear" them in .

    I’m going to try the ‘boil it like a bunny’ method just out of absolute curiosity 😆

    looking at the back of the seal the hole for attaching to the piston boss is the same on both but the 26 mm has wider "land" around it

    Thank you. They knew what I meant, just yanking my chain 😆

    I'm still a bit surprised you needed the full length of that new spring...

    So, about this 97KT you're expecting - I assume that's not going to be 25mm?

    *sharp intake of breath* What's your plans with that one then?
