I now have front forks installed ! I used quantum physics for 24 hours inside the Bosch collider to alter the sliders molecular structure and both legs just slid in like butter !

any workshop tips on re installing the front fork legs on my 68 T100

 I have compressed the main spring with cable ties and with gaiter and headlamp bracket on I can "manoeuvre" the whole leg just up into

 the underside of the top fork yoke but not just enough to catch the threads with the top nut

do I have to buy the Triumph tool as mentioned in the manual or am I missing the obvious remedy for this re install  situation  ?

all input very gratefully received

I know this is stupid question of the day as I type  however I am restoring my 68 T 100 and am stuck as to how I can remove the chrome fork shrouds that carry the fork stanchion oil seal I assumed there were small allan grub screws on the lower tapered section but upon clearing away 50+ years of road DNA these are what looks like small tapered rivet's ?
 hoping someone can guide me on removal of these items

I will remove the g/box case and see what parts I need to order
