Thanks Larry,
That ties up with other measurements I've been given. I will make the effort
to find out an original used seal in the UK, to show to the manufacturers.
They claim that the short seals are correct, and that none of the major
Triumph parts vendors has ever complained about their product.........
Cheers,
Bill.
