Looking for a 35mm seal kit for my Rockshox 35 fork, anybody know a place that stocks?

 

I've read that they're different to the 35mm found on the Pike, Lyrik, etc. as below:

RS 35mm seals post-2016 are all the same, but currently out of stock. Hopefully should be getting more in mid-Jan.

Sportopia Cycles had some SKF seal kits for the 35mm Rockshox forks a couple weeks back

Thanks Droo. 

 

My concern came from this thread where a user compared the difference of thread size on the dust cap of the 35 fork and a Pike fork.

That air cap will not be replaced only the seal so the threading wont be a problem. The dust seals get pressed in and are compatible.

Looks like some value engineering going on there. The standard one will most likely work a fair bit better - that original one looks like a proper cheap and cheerful thing.
