Front fork refurb/rebuild: Situation & options.

[b1k3rdude]

@Peasy, took mine apart today. It looks like previous owners have been at the forks and internals as there are marks, burs and scratches everwhere.

But back on topic, I took some pics of 2 things that troubling me - the damper tube and the preload adjusters on the fork tops -

• There is some(I can just feel and see it) sideways (lateral play) between the damping piston and damping tube - is this normal?
  
• The preload adjusters only come out to 4.5 lines, I'm guessing this wont be an issue if I am heavy enough etc.
  

And like Falcon, I found some swarf inside both damping tubes, as well as the usual gunge.
