35mm fork seals on 74 TX forks?

[drewfunk]

I've got a couple sets of new 35mm fork seals, can i make them work on a set of 74 TX650 forks? Obviously there is that 1mm difference in fork tube size, but the seals are designed to grab onto the tubes pretty tight so maybe that wouldnt be an issue.

Thanks!

In yer dreams, drew,
tolerance on seal shaft diameters is + 0" / -0.002" so a 0.0197" clearance is gonna leak like a sieve.

Well that answers it! Figured i'd check before ordering different ones.

Ahh, ya don't need that messy old fork oil anyway.

Ok guys, i have another related question. Will 34mm springs work in 35mm forks? I ordered 34mm progressive springs from Mikes, but i just found some 35mm forks in my parts stash in much better condition than my 34mm forks and would like to build those instead.
