You probably have to convert the M6 bolts on the lower legs to the M8 bolts the SID uses like @Thias did on his Hydracoil conversion:

I had the same idea a few months back and have all parts here but in the end decided against it.
I also tried the Hydracoil conversion: it works great but from all the oil the fork gets a lot heavier.
If you do it, please show your progress. Would be interesting for future projects!

there are hacks where just a Judy crown, the one with screws from early years, is used on early SID models till 2002.
You have to carefully cut the original fixed/pressed crown from the stanchions of the SiD.
With that you can also build than a SID with 1" steerer, which was never on sale.

I wish I'd thought of this 3 weeks ago before I sold a manky rotten Sid that worked fine and a yellow non-corroding Judy with no internals. It never even crossed my mind.
