I am yes. Probably not worth the postage if I can find something suitable, but let me know how much to send one over and I'll see how lazy I'm feeling.

Enduro seals are some of the worst products I've ever used, they add friction, look crap, and mark stanchions. Not recommended. I've not used them but @Dr-Zocchi ones are basically OEM spec so a lot better.
Picking up on your point about oil volumes in your first post; the reason most modern forks don't like much oil is that because of a closed end to create the air chamber on the spring side only leaves space for so much, and with the damper side too much and the damper starts to ingest the lubrication oil which inflates the bladder and creates crap damping. The Z2 only had a single damper, so there was lots of oil in that side for the damping, and the other side it was just enough for lubrication rather than also doing damping so it was a bit of weight saving. The later 888's were a similar setup as they only had a damper in one side.

Righto. Seems I bought and fitted a set of those dreadful enduro ones.
@Dr-Zocchi - can you sort me a new set of decent seals and one of those circlips you mention above please? Feel free to ping me a message if so.

Seals are here : https://dr-zocchi.projectweb.de/produkt/marzocchi-bomber-30-mm-seal-kit-classic-type/
If you buy that seal kit I will add the circlips for free - no problem.
Is that all you need? I don't see the knobs on the main picture.
Ok cool that's great cheers, I'll check it out.
I didn't look through all the bits, but I don't recall anything else being missing. The pic at the bottom of page 2 on this thread shows something which may be.......... ..... .... my nobs in the bottom.... .... ..... ....... ... ... right of the picture.
