Title: Girvin Vector 1 or 2 Spares...
Post by: proflex656 on April 29, 2013, 06:55:54 am

Hi Guys...
I'm working on a set of Girvin Vector mk1 forks.

I need some spares if anyone can help ?

Firstly I am looking for the top, front pivot rod ( please see photo ) the one I have has been sheared.
Next I'm looking for 3 or 4 of the spring clips, shown in the photo too.

Finally I need the handlebar stem / shock mount assembly in either steel or alloy.
Anything considered, the one I have is pretty much scrap...
The other option I have in mind is the alloy "block" top shock mount that the Vector 2's use with the separate handlebar stem.... I have a good stem I can use, so this would be a good option too.

Anything considered, I would love to get these old forks onto my project bike as soon as possible.

Thanks in advance - Ride safe !
Jr

Keep an eye on eBay as you often get people selling spares and incomplete forks there.

Thanks Spokes for the reply.
I've been looking for a while now on eBay, sadly people seem to want lots of money for incomplete or broken parts these days !
I was hoping parts supply might be a bit better in the US rather than the UK

Hi...making a bit of progress, sorted the pivot rod now..

Just need either a steel stem / shock mount unit....or maybe just the spacers from the side...

I can reuse any old spacers from the side of the stem ?

Thanks jr

Thanks Mr B...
100 bucks plus shipping and tax might be a bit too much for me here in the UK -  :(

I only need the vector 1 combined handlebar stem and shock mount or the vector 2 shock mount block to finish the job now...

It would be great if the parts turned up so how, I have the forks and bike built up ready to fit...just need this last part.... hey ho... :'(

Cheers for now - jr

You should be aware that the ULM Upper Link Mount that is separate from the handlebar stem requires a longer steer tube on the fork.
