Old Roxshock forks

Hi all
Anyone know of a source for spares for old Roxshocks forks? I have a 1998 Kona Caldera (beautiful bike fantastic Cro-Mo frame, still the best material IMHO) with a set of Judy T2 forks on. I am giving the bike a major overhaul, new cables, chainset etc and I was servicing the forks over the weekend as they were not in very good condition.
As well as new elastomers I need some of the seals that go inside the inner tube as the old ones are knackered. Any ideas?
If my, so far futile, search doesn't turn up anything anyone got any suggestions for a replacement? Don't want to spend too much, don't need (or want) too much travel, but also don't want a heavy fork, the Judy is only 1500g!)
Thanks guys.

The Judy T2 is light for a reason - has no damping oil or cartridge lol.
Seals can be got on ebay too, for the 28mm RS forks.0 -
Oh well, no more Judys
Bought some Dart 3 instead, hope they're ok. Heard good and bad about them, shouldn't upset the front end too much I don't think, only a little bit taller, the only issue is the weight, but I guess they're better forks and they do have a lock out.Kona Caldera 1998 (I love good steel)

Not a bad fork the Dart 3 - will weigh more than the Judy with the steel legs and steerer, but will feel stiffer. Give them time to bed in and they will smooth out.0
