Maybe late on the party 
. I did the same some times ago (https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/92-mountain-cycle-san-andreas-resurrection.454736/post-3338133). Not wanting to hijack @fguki, but just in case, I had my elastomer refresh kit from Suspension Forks Parts (https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/92-mountain-cycle-san-andreas-resurrection.454736/post-3338170). It was the only supplier at the time I did the replacement.

Nice. I'm following this one closely.
This is mine after getting it from @My_Teenage_Self just under a year ago and giving it a full strip down and restoration.

How did you buy the kit? He told me he was going to list them on eBay for 100 euros (ouch) and then I haven’t heard anything else.

I was in direct contact. But just needed the spacers and special top out springs. I had some original elastomer in great shape and had some o-rings.
I also sent him my measurement of the original wiper seals. He is currently also looking if he can find some matching wipers.
The parts are not cheap but there is also work, time and handling involved. He probably won't sell many of them. So I,'m more than happy that he took the work to get some forks, as close as possible to original, running again.
Just sent him a pm. He usually reacts within a few hours.
PS: The o-ring under the spring is 35x3.5mm

Thats a nice one from the 94/95 change. A early 95 version (identified by the subframe and non hex cable guides on the swingarm). But it has previous 94 repro stickers on it.
The elastomer AfterShock was most likely retro fitted. I'm pretty sure it was delivered originally with a Noleen NR3-PB or NR3
The rear disc is the older hole design. The Suspenders is a last revision, late 94 System 3 with a disc that was also only made in late 94 and early 95 for a short period of time.
