Thanks for the replys.. The Master cylinder has 2 thin radial grooves near the fluid fitting & the bike is a twin disc with version with Spondon Calipers.

As for the Fork seals I tried Simply Bearings & a few other bearing suppliers & they don't list a 38-50-7 Fork Seal.. They do list a bearing seal in that size but they are for rotating shafts.. A scan of ebay did come back with 38-50-7/8 Fork seals. Would they be ok.. Sorry I am new to all this.. I usually bang in a reg number or Make n Model then order the part for the bike.. Even then its amazing how often the wrong thing turns up..

Neil.

Ps I got the chain fitted (that was fun).. & I can select gears, but pulling in the clutch when in gear does not appear to isolate rear wheel from the crankshaft (I am testing it without the engine running).. Obviously that is a normal situation for a bike that's been static for a while, but am I looking at a major job.. Or is there a procedure for freeing it up.. I don't really fancy getting it running then slamming it in gear with the clutch in & the brakes on..
