Where can you get centre crank seals now ??
Crooks says they are no longer available, anyone have any or know of an alternative ? |

You can't get them very easily. Occasionally a set of New Old Stock seals come up for sale on ebay though. Paul Millar probably has some - vintagesuzuki@attbi.com - mail him.
Most of us modify the cranks though to use different seals. |

Thanks Adrian, I have e-mailed Paul, now tell me of the crank conversion, I know its 4 bearing, but what bearings and seals do you use ?? |

No easy answer to that one Dave - different people do the conversion in different ways. I've had a 4 bearing crank conversion done by two seperate people - Ian Ambler and Lea Gourlay - and they used different bearings and ideas.
The seal holders you make for the outer seals can have a range of internal diameters - you make one to fit the OD of whatever seal you are going to use.
