Marzocchi chrome clip elastic limit

[Gumbo]

Before I risk stretching the chrome dust cover clips beyond their elastic limit and/or damaging the finish, does anybody know if these can be fitted without removing the forks?
Cheers, Tony

Yes, just slip it over the stanchion.

You should get away with it.
If the chrome is dodgy or flaky it can crack when the ring is stretched over the stanchion, but 9 times out of 10 it is no problem.

Thanks, I'llgive it a shot..

Carefull opening with a bit of a twist works well, nice and easy.

Watch the sharp end doesn't gouge your stanchion...
If in doubt, wrap stanchion in tape.
