Pace RC36 Pro Class II - bolt kit, restoration & servicing

[TonyMerryfield]

Today I 'won' some Pace RC36 Pro Class II forks on eBay - have yet to see them, so not sure how much of a victory it is

They look pretty good aside from a bit of rust on the bolts that hold the brace(s) on, a bit of superficial damage to decals on the legs and some scuffing to the dropouts.

The seller has said they need a service, which is probably a given for any second hand fork.

Sooo, my questions are:

a: Where can I get replacement bolts - preferably in Ti?
b: Where can I send them to be serviced and/or refurbished internally?
c: What's the best course of action for refurbishing/respraying the dropouts?

I'm not overly keen to take these apart just because I know it won't get done if left to me - I don't mind sending them off for servicing etc; though I can probably stretch to replacing bolts myself

Any advice appreciated!

Just found this thread regarding servicing, might try and find out about bolt kit there as well:

Re:

The ex pace chappie does a lot on here when it comes to pace servicing. Comes up as member name justbackdated and he's called Tim

+1 for Tim. He provides an excellent service

Re:

Okay - that's great to know. I don't want to burden him with PM, so hopefully he will see my rather obvious thread title and drop in as a volunteer

Probably help if I had the forks in my hands too!

Re:

If I were you, I'd wait until I have the fork in my hands and then assess (in as much as you are able) before dropping him a PM. I'm sure he'll want to hear from you as it's what he does

Oh okay, if it's 'what he does' that's different!

Seller is thankfully local so am meeting him Tuesday to collect - hope they look okay when I get them :S

They are for the long running and previously little-mentioned 07 Clockwork build, so upon fitting they need to be (insert emphasis of choice) nice by then.

Just thought - probably started this thread in the wrong section

No, this one's good

Is it? Fine with me, not used to conversing in the 98 onwards 'zone'.
