Can someone please advise what size the copper washer is at the bottom of each fork leg is please. I think its called the damper rod sealing washer.

Alternatively can I resuse the old one.

Thanks

Not had my stock forks apart but if it really is copper, YES you can use them again unless they`re badly deformed.
Heat them to cherry red then douse them in water, it will anneal the copper (soften it), and allow them to seal well if being reused.

Thanks, I'll see what they're like when I get them off.

Nice to see someone still knows how to anneal copper.

Brought up on British iron, annealing copper is a weekly task.
