Fork stantion interchangability

Hi again guys
I'm on a roll now - I bought my 1975 K2 in a load of rusty pieces and so spending a lot of time replacing with new but am finding that it was a boxs of mixed model parts. It turns out (after a rebuild!) that the forks are cb500Four - only found out when I ordered new fork tops. I've bought a set of K2 forks but they are the early type and doesn't match 1975 model year. I'm going to buy new stations anyway and if I got hold of the later model fork bottoms (might be able to get hold of some), was wondering if the internals from the early K1/K2 forks that I have would fit in the later stantions/fork bottoms?
Tried to upload a few pics before and so far - but unsuccessful again - not techy enough it seems!
Thanks
Phil

Bryanj:
Sorry Mate all the internals are different once you get past the K2

Hi Phil I have a pair of forks off a 750 f1 that are dismantled, they need new fork seals and a clean and polish all the mountings and threads are ok, i'll post some photos if your interested ? ;) cheers Mick.

Thanks for replies.  When looking for new stantions on Dave Silver and CMS, (for K2) it lists two types - upto certain frame numbers/after certain numbers and its the same when I was looking for mudguards. So I assumed that earlier K2's had a K1 fork bottoms (like the ones I've bought to refurb - with a longer rear mudguard mounting lug). Its these two types I need to know have interchangeable internals.
Thanks for the offer of forks of FI Mick but want to keep standard with chrome headlamp brackets/rubber boots/mudguards - would they fit?
Thanks again
Phil

Hi Phil
I have some spare fork lowers for a k2 onwards.
We can do a strait swap if you like as I am after some for a k1
