Front Suspension Seals

VegeKev · #1 03-18-2013, 07:32 PM

Hi Everyone,

Can anyone tell me where I can source the felt seals for the leading arms?

CA95,CB92 51235-200-000 FRONT FORK SUSPENSION ARM FELT SEAL
CA95,CA160 51232-250-000 FRONT FORK PIVOT ARM FELT SEAL

Ohio Cycles stock them but don't ship to Australia....

Or alternatively has anyone made a set from scratch?

Thanks,
Kev.

Kev, there is a complete front end recon kit in Malaysia, see how it compares with buying from the States and having a member post it on to you.

I make them from scratch everytime I need to.

Buy some felt cloth. Imprint the part into the felt. Trace & cut with whatever sharp tool you have. Or cut a thin strip long enough to make the circle you need.

Thanks for the replies Gents.

I bid on the complete kit in Malaysia but was out done...I already have the bushes and my bolts have minimal wear so i was only after the felt seals anyway.

I'm keen to make my own. Spokes - Just wondering if the felt cloth needs to be super tough, or would the standard type you can get from a craft shop be enough?

Craft quality felt works very well.
