FYI, replacement fork tubes are available and in stock.
$230 for a new tube?  That's actually not a bad price.  I sure wouldn't try to make one knowing that I could get a new tube at that price.

Just a data point... I'm currently making a nose landing gear strut for a customer's Experimental airplane.  To get the inner tube hard-chromed was $250.  That's one piece, 1.5 inches in diameter and a foot long.  That's 250 bucks, just for the chroming.

Carry on...   :drinks:
