Forks revisited...with pics finally

Due to the memory card for the camera being "locked" and not being able to take pics for some idiotic reason, it occurred to me that I had another memory card for the camera................but where!!!!!!!!

Found it!!!!!!!!!!!!! In one the file cabinets that's used for storage of files (naturally), the most important tea supplies, equipment like the battery charger and other things

So, here's a few pics of the forks at this point in time:

                                                    Gaiters and two "persuaders"


                                                                        Springs

Stanchions


The fork shrouds

And this is a shot of the engine stand along with the seal retainer tool bought on the "Shop 'til Ya Drop Spending Spree", this ones for Kawa as he was interested in the stand


Have been spraying penetrating fluid down inside the sliders to help later on with removing the seal retainers. Judging by some of the rust that was there on the springs and stanchions, thought it might be a good idea...

Will also have to get some lumber materials and cobble up a platform thing to mount the stand on.....could bolt it to the bench, but seeing how it's not mine (the bench), may not be a good idea.

Any ideas for the vise? Had thought of an old cable spool, but need one at a good height to make things manageable.

Answers in the usual manner....on a scrap of paper, left behind the old cistern at 9PM on a cloudless night.
