Ruttman Spyder Upper Fork Tube Length

[captndiet]

I am wanting to put together a set of forks for a Ruttman Spyder and need the length of the upper fork tubes that go through the triple tree plates.

They are part #2 in the attached drawing.

I believe they are 1.125" o.d. with a .125" wall, but don't know the length.

I have all the other parts already.

Also attached is a borrowed photo of the forks for reference.

Thanks for the input.

Long overdue Thank You !!!

I have a stupid question to ask, but what holds the lower forks into the uppers on this setup?

Not much, just the springs. The springs screw/thread into the cups (note the tab on the cup).

The only stupid question is the one not asked.

Hello and welcome, @DoubleJ !
