Tony27 and Ducman 46.5 is the outside oil seal size, my mistake, starting to think to far ahead. Fork outside diameter is 30mm just measured. Does this give me any options? This bike is becoming a labour of love.

Hi all, just come in from the shed..... my project TY175 forks, are not what they seem! The bottoms are from the TY range (probably ty175) but the fork stantions (Outside dia size are 46.5mm) do not have the standard screw thread fork cap tops they have instead a wire circlip and a plug. does any one know if any other fork legs will fit, or can I buy new stantions? from ABE? with oil in them they seemed very bouncy! I invested in some legs from a DT175 (early C model?) but the stantions are too short....plus I cant get the bolt loose from the bottom of one leg. No amount of swearing has budged it! I'm wondering whether to rechrome these legs and experiment with the springs and oil weights to get near a decent feel Cheers Steve

Anyone know if a ty250 seat will fit onto a ty175? Got the opportunity to rebuild one so am looking for suitable spares from all avenues. So anyone know about original front mudguards as well? Can you get hold of a pattern one or is it an original only? Sorry if this has been asked elsewhere but just joined this forum so haven't yet had chance to go through all the topics available. Cheers
