I like to repair things, sometimes keep the spares as a last resort

Old seal went on fairly easily and the new seal on the spare, well, it will do.
Piston in the spare looked in good condition.

I like to repair also, but that is essentially what you would be doing. Granted it isnt the totally original, but it is still appropriate, and accurate.

Have you considered a full refurb of the spares with a view to replace at some time. It is much easier 'on the bench' (I am sure you know this), and probably be easier to do - I wonder if this had any bearing on the seal not fitting before

It is a satisfying task, and not difficult (as you have seen). Being on the bench too, it means you can inspect and clean them thoroughly too.
