Hey guys, I was wondering if it is possible to fit 08 recon dual air u-turn internals into a set of 08 coil u-turn toras?

Which, of the numerous spares, would i need to do this?

    Not too sure - I know the moco cartridges are not compatible as the recon has thicker alu legs - the bigger tora moco cartridge doesn't fit in there.

    You'll have to experiment!

    Basically, these are going on the inbred, so i'm okay with having a play, and was planning on doing my first suspension service on them as a practice before doing my pikes!

    What parts would i need?

    there is no dual air U-turn?

    just solo air or coil U turn.

    not swaped from steel legs to alloy legs on RS fork but on Marz. the springs are different diameters so there is always a chance that the RS internals are a different diameter................ BUT having them a standard size makes sense.

    need to look up part numbers...

    Nick, I know they've never made dual air u-turn toras...

    I'm hoping to do a sly upgrade, and was basically wondering seeing as some of the parts are the same, and they have the same size stantions, i might be able to pull a fast one!!!!


    If you could look up the part numbers, that'd be amazing, I was looking on the fisher website today, but wasn't really sure what bits i might need!
