Whilst stripping the forks I noticed some marks in the steel. It's not rubbing but more like chipping or welding damage.. any ideas? it is all located around the damper brackets Image

Its were the spring seats are welded in. The bit the tophats fit in for the rods that go inside the fork springs. (I think).
