Roo is looking for some stanchions, I reckon if you fitted the F1 tubes but with F2 innards it would help compress the springs better in case they'd got shorter as they aged and were used.

If you need to alter preload spring height, these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/313535590659 will likely fit and can be swapped/combined to give dimensions you want.

They're used in mtb forks (these Rockshox Boxxer) that are 35mm stanchion too.
