DonĀ“t use any silicon or minaral oil on brake parts (can destroy rubber parts and seals), use some Special assambling grease for inner break parts.

Yes,some high quality caliper grease would probably be best.
Thanks for keeping us up to date on your progress. I hope the rest ride goes well.

Good point folks on the grease! In fact I found one in my workshop from last caliper repair...

Red Rubber grease is included with some brake rebuild kits. I'm not sure if that's a brand name or a generic designation. Castrol makes the product I've seen, but I've never used it. Someone from the UK on another forum recommended it.

as announced I took her out for a test ride last WE with new fork oil, new tyres and overhauled anti dive.
What shall I say, was very please with her behaviour on the street: fork acts smooth ( for the year), the scary wobbling has gone, anti dive works pretty well.
Came home with a smile on my face ...
UNTIL a looked down on the fork: ANTI DIVE's LEAKING!!! What a mega shit!
Not much, only a drop but of course cant leave it leaking like this.
I suspect the O-rings being the root cause although had renewed them using the ones from the GPZzone kit.
I now ordered NOS rings from KAWA.
So heavy work ahead again for next week end starting over the whole exercise ( lucky I have to stay home on account of COVID 19 anyway).
This time I am planning on lubricating the O-rings with a sealant very lightly ( we call it Dirko-S here).
Anyone having some experiences using sealant to drain off O-rings ?
Cheers

If lubricating the O-rings with a sealant very lightly = Hylomar M

Just a quick update:
I finally managed to stop the leaking and got the anti dive units dense.
NOS O-Rings and Hylomar-M sealant (thx Scirocco!) seems to have made the trick.
