Strada MK5 (1979/80) Fork Seal Size

Evening all
All my parts guide/blue book says is 35mm. I’m sure they’re 35-47 but there seems to be either 7 or 10 as the final number (height). Can anyone confirm the correct ones before I order?
Mdina seem to have 3 possibles, including Pantah ones. I also understand you need 2 per side. I’ve only had one side go but have seen kits with dust seals etc and am thinking just do the lot when I’m sure which one..TIA

As Mikey said, 2 of 7mm was the original spec. With decent modern fork seals I use 1 of 10mm seal. They usually have a wiper lip as well as a sealing lip.

Thanks Steve, good to know. I already got these from eBay which should be fine for both sides, but I’m also going to have a good look at your suggestion also
