2007 EC250 fork bush problem

[JAD]

Marzocchi 45mm forks

Hi all, I have a bit of play in the lower fork legs. I can move the lower fork legs a tiny bit - I thought it was the steering head bearings at first but on closer inspection it is the lower leg moving a bit in the upper suspension leg/sleeve (back and to).

I believe this may be due to worn bushes so I bought Pyramid Parts kit (including new seals etc) but the lower bush was too big and would not fit. The upper bush was fine. I rang the local Gas Gas dealer and they tell me the lower bush is now obsolete and they are unable to get it any more.

Does anyone have any advice as to where I can get the correct size lower bush?

Or, is a small amount of play acceptable/normal?

Many Thanks
