New Chap on the forum here. I have a DT175MX (1979) project I'm starting soon with a mate (who bought it as a reminder of his misspent youth !). He stripped it down a few years back full of enthusiasm etc.The fork stanchions were then sent away to be re chromed and the guy promptly went out of business and thats the last we ever saw of them ! So.. First question as we searth the world for replacement tubes or complete forks is - Does anyone know which other year / model forks fit the '79 UK spec DT 175 ? We've seen a few different years etc pop up for sale but never knew diameter / length info to interchange. Anyone know any info so we can widen our search ? Of course if anyones tripping over a mint set of '79 forks in their workshop and wants rid them I'm yer man ! Cheers and thanks. Dave

Hi there folks New Chap on the forum here. I have a DT175MX (1979) project I'm starting soon with a mate (who bought it as a reminder of his misspent youth !). He stripped it down a few years back full of enthusiasm etc. The fork stanchions were then sent away to be re chromed and the guy promptly went out of business and thats the last we ever saw of them ! Other than that it's complete - we think ... - and we now have a lovely refinished frame and swing arm to start hanging some bits off. So I'll be using this rather excellent forum for help and advice if that's ok ? Cheers folks. Dave
