Wanted forks to fit 1973 6v C90

I know I can buy patern ones but I would really like to find a straight genuine set that I can blast and paint.

If it's any help I fitted a 1984 12v set of forks to my 1970 6v C90.All I had to do was drill out the arms to take the 12mm spindle.The forging is the same size,so strong enough to take this.Everything at the top end fitted normally.If you have the torque arm front brake,which I have,you will also need to put a bracket on the new forks to take this.

Hi JOHN,

That is a great help thank you. Going to hold out for a little while to see if I can get a genuine set from somewhere. I do have the bracket for the torque arm on mine https://goo.gl/photos/gCfKX1YvNinB4jgZ6

I just cut the old torque arm bracket off the old forks and welded it to the new set.
