Tim, Didn't you find the Koni a bit hard on the Girdraulic fork, even if you sourced the correct Koni front shock, 76F-1239, I think back in the day the best way to go was Series D Armstrong with longer eye bolts, Thornton is/was great, sadly no longer available, but luckily we have AVO that seems infinitely adjustable in manufacture if you know what to specify.

Actually loking at the first post it looks like you have some variation of the recirculating mod as that hole in the side is mot standard if indeed you have a valve inside the stem that would explain the o ring in the piston the 'valve' may simply be the hole size or it could be a spring loaded ball for one way damping as I had
What a shame that none of the original damper parts are available. I wonder if the club holds the drawings for them and would make them available?

With a lathe and a bit of ingenuity you can make the shaft out of silver steel which gives the perfect finish for the modified seal that Paul recommends.
This is the older Mod' Paul was talking about.
