Hi Tony,

I remembered that Frank Curcio in Melbourne who rebuilt my shockers all those years ago gave me an O-ring of the type he used at the shaft for the seal.

I found it with the shocker that he left opened up for me and photos of it which I posted here.

I just put the Vernier on it, very gently I may add, it and as you can see the dimensions are 0.948" ID. the shaft is exactly 1.000" so the smaller size ID would be an advantage.

The diameter of the ring cross section is 0.207"

Although these dimension do not correlate with an imperial size perhaps he used metric O-rings. In that case they could be 24mm x 5.25mm or something like that.

They never leaked from the shaft with them. I had a small weep from the cover on the base of the shock of one of the four which was unrelated.

Hope this helps or at least points you in the right direction.

Cheers,
