Threaded fork

I have an old steel Raleigh mountain bike that I use for commuting, and I need to fit a rigid fork.
Sounds simple right? Just go and get a 1" threaded fork from ebay for £10 right? Wrong! The bloody frame needs a 180mm steerer and try as I might I can't seem to find one that will fit anywhere
My LBS only have 700c forks with steerers long enough.
If anyone has any idea where I can get one I will forever be in your debt

Or try giving walton street cycles a call in oxford, they've got a lot of old steel forks kicking around.
How old is the bike, might it be 26tpi as well?

Not usually possible as threadless forks have thicker walls and the stem won't fit into the forks
Another consideration as threaded headsets are 24tpi except for the odd raleigh thread pitch. Looks like a new headset also.

I found a fork on ebay last weekbut was outbid at the last moment, I guess I will have to just keep looking and ask around.
A little over what I had hoped to pay (£25) but I am chuffed I can finally finish the retro commuter properly
What colour are you after, I think the one off the old Morrison Sidewinder sat in my garage might fit. If it does, you can have it @ postage cost.
Will need to check it first though.
