Fork advice please

[ginger_jim]

Good day to you sir :-)

You mean the damping rods etc?

I can send Mike them as well.

[Bryanj]

The damping rods and springs yes but they should stay with the relevant fork tubes due to length and end machining differences

My main problem here is that I have 6" over forks on my bike and I have no idea how the internals are set up.
As a little Spanish man once said......."I know nothing...K"

[Bryanj]

Hopfully what thay have done is just fit a 6 inch piece on top of the spring.

Main difference is very early ones had a long threaded rod up the inside that joined the top nut to the damper and if it wasn't there or unscrewed from the top nut the sliders fell off if forks lifted too high. Later ones had a reducing plug welded into the bottom of the steel tube and the damper will only come out of the top

GJ, could you possibly take a picture of the other side of the forks so that I can see the mudguard fixing points please. 

[ginger_jim]

Will do when I get home later.

Cheers

Here you go Mike.  Looks like any dodgy threads have been helicoiled too

Thanks GJ your a star. I will let me cuz see this and if he thinks it will work we can make a plan. It may take a few days though but I wont forget.
