Rock Shox Judy - Parts Identification

[TiHardtail]

This fork came with the Bontrager I picked up a while back, but have been eyeing it for my Hei Hei. I haven't tore down a Judy in decades, but it went well, and surprisingly it's in really good shape. It has been modified, coil springs and aftermarket dampener, no markings on either. Anyone recognize them?

Maybe a White Brothers Hardbody cartridge?

It may not be aftermarket as es did update the plastic damper to a metal one. Aftermarket ones tended to have logos on them but standard ones didn't.

I hadn't thought that it could be OEM, all the Judy's I worked on BITD had the plastic cartridge. The bottom seal weeps a little fluid with each stroke, so it needs to be serviced or replaced.

The dh came with aluminium cartridge, and RS updates were available for the xc too.

I think that's it.

Any ideas on the springs, wondering if the red anodized spacer at the bottom is a clue?

The DH I had came with 2 cartridges, rebound and compression. One was red, the other silver. Had xcs and sls with the hard body as they call it.

Rebuild kits can be had, I think someone also posted on here the seals you can buy over the counter so to speak rather than at a slight premium for retro fork repair.

95 had plastic and they upgraded in 96 sometime during the 96 model to metal iirc
97 where metal but had a new lower leg design anyway.
Replacements came as metal.

But they had a step at the seal seat. It could be the picture , as it looks like an original finish. But the step looks smoother?
