Oni nou can you please enclose a link to the video you have uploaded about the forks? Are you referring to this one? 

BTW I have measured the dia of the tubes and I found that 1½" plastic waste pipe will be a good tool for fitting the seals.

I have just replaced the seals & oil on my forks. Since the spring clips between the seal and dust cover are quite rusty I want to replace them as well. However, it seems impossible to source them from anywhere (unknown spare part number topping it up).  In the worst case scenario I think they could be made from a steel wire and bend it according to the original. Any suggestion what would be the best material (hard or half hard, diameter, coated etc.) or just a internal circular clip will do? Has anyone done this before?
