Anyone know the size of twine used as a seal at the junction of the oil seal holder and the front fork slider.
It is not specified in any workshop mauals that I've got which is more than a few. I did come across it 0nce reading a Sqaure 4 Manual for sale at an Autojumble but I didn't buy the Manual as I don't have a Sq.4. I think No. 3 was specified but it could have been No.2. Looking at a used, original example from the bike I am working on, I think it's got to be sisal rather than cotton.
I have often found it difficult to seal this particular joint. There is no substitute that I know of for the correct twine & gasket goo. I've tried plumber's tape on the threads but not bery sucessfully.
