Boot fair DHO`s.........Englund cartridges ????

[Elmo]

Hi,I got a pair of Rock Shox DHO`s at the local boot fair today for the extortionate sum of £5
They are in well used condition and have wear on the stantions and some previous owner has attacked the fork brace with an angle grinder to get a bigger tyre to fit.
I`ve stripped them down and was a bit surprised when no oil drained out when I removed the lowers.When I removed the damper stacks and rods these two cartridges came out instead of the expected damper stacks.
The red cartridge was in the left leg and the black in the right leg.
They can each be adjusted by an allen key throuh the bottom bolt
Are they standard ?
Or are they Englund air cartridges ?

Any ideas.

Dampers were standard. DHOs, as per all Judys, were dry systems rather than the more modern wet ones where oil sloshes around. The carts are for compression and rebound damping. Only DH and DHOs had both, XC and SL only had rebound.

Thanks fpr that Pete,I sussed out myself they were standard wet judy carts when I took them apart and a small amount of emulsified oil dripped out.
Anyway,all cleaned and refilled with oil and fork now rebuilt.
As they run a "dry" leg I`m not to fussed about the worn stanchions as nothing will leak out.They will be going on my sons Kona Stinky 2-4 to replace the dreadfully heavy Marzocchi DJ3`s which hardly move with his light weight on them.
I`ve got a new Specialized 20mm front hub (last weeks boot fair find for a £1)so will be looking for a 36 hole 24" rim to build it on to.
