Fork oil, 5wt or 7.5wt (8wt)
buy it from motorbike shops or online at CRC (which is where mine is from)
They don't use that much and I always flush with some before putting the last batch in.
I currently use this in 5 an 7.5 wt (I use 7.5wt for my marzocchi bombers forks)
You can blend them together to get anything in between as well.

EDIT you'll be wanting the 7.5wt oil for your setup.
and depending on what is in the forks, there are valve spring washers that will alter it's preload. Really you should have the spring made stiffer with more washers, not sure if you normal MAG21 (1993) should have them as they have a stiffer spring to start with I think.
But they'll still work fine without it being altered.
The valve spring holds a disc of mylar (or similar) down and the oil need to get enough force to push against his to make the fork move. The dial at the top allow you some adjustment from the outside, the spacers just do it from the inside iirc.

Be careful with them.
You need a 1mm diameter -ish long stiff pin to pierce it with. Through the middle to make the hole. Lube it up loads with fork grease before you put it in the top cap.
Was hoping you could fit em when I send you the forks?!? Don't mind having a stab at doing oil change etc but I can see all sorts getting lost as the lighting and all the stuff in garage ain't the best or the easiest to look for things,I already lost the little barrel thing that holds the cable off a pair of gravity research pipe dreams,looks like there off to the bin....

pipedreams will sell as spares (but it'll be there somewhere)
Will put them in for you.
Will put them in for you.
Cheers for that,
The pipe dreams maybe ok as i have a front and rear onza ho brakes just turned up today.
Looks as if i can use the brake barrel off them on the pipe dreams.
was gonna use the onzas front and back but they dont look right if you know what i mean? :?
