Taken the old fork seals off, they appear to be screwed (they are threaded) onto the top of the fork legs. The new seals I have are just a push fit onto the legs, no thread on the inside of seal, will they stay in place. Do I have the right seals.
Thanks
John.

On my '64 model the old fork seals were not screwed in just ribbed. I seem to remember that it was quite a job to get the new ones back in even using some silicone grease. With only a small amount of oil in the forks I don't think the 'seals' will be troubled over much with leakage. And the damping is almost non-existent!

Jubilee fork seals
Realised this morning after cleaning the forks that the fork ends are ribbed. The old seals are also ribbed, the new ones are not. I will just push the new ones onto the fork ends.
Thanks
John.

Sorry, can’t give a definitive but I assumed the threads were there to act as a “grip” for the seal. None of my fork legs had seals on them and my new seals are same as yours!
