right o
just pulled the fork from the box... the pivot balls gone. the boot that covers it has been taped up previously and is pretty severly rooted anyway. but the best part is that the cylinder mount has broken. the top most bolt mount has snapped off. the middle bolt wat reasonably tight and the bottom one loose but both of those bolts were bent so maybe thats why the middle one was a bit tight. i havent undone the top one yet but i presume itll be tight since i cant mover the broken bit by hand.

i have another spare parts box [from a 1982 GTV] but the slave is mounted backwards comparably. will i be able to nick the pivot ball from that or is it different [question mark not working].
i had a brief look before i took mine out and i think the forks were different. mine cast and the other folded metal plate. ill check again.

oh and the part the ball sits was compleately dry but around it had dryed grease. i think ill grease up my gtv now...
