Steering Head Seals?

[cresco750]

While reassembling my freshly powder coated frame it occurred to me that there are no seals, as such, to keep dirt and water out of the steering head bearings, aside from the plastic cap at the top. I'm fitting NOS original races and balls. There aren't any pictured in the parts manual, but am I missing something obvious?

cheers

Is the following diagram the same as that shown in your parts manual?. I can't see anything listed in the way of a lower dust seal. Seems strange to not have some form of protection from dirt. I also looked at the microfiche for the frame, but there's nothing

Yes, that's the diagram. I'm pretty sure I didn't remove / discard any sort of seal or o ring when I disassembled it all a couple of months ago so I guess that's just the way it's meant to be? Seems like a bit of a weak point in the design though.
