Does anyone have the part number or know where to get inner cartridge fork bushings for the 48mm dual chamber marzocchi’s

See attached pic.

I’ve ordered two different sizes from racetech with no luck. The last set I got look correct but measure 36.15mm when assembled and require a lot of force to assemble and do not slide nicely when assembled.

Perhaps you could make the new bush thinner by removing some material fom the inside?

Did you ask your favourite GG dealer? I have had success with sourcing Marzocchi parts from my importer, but that was a part that has a part number in the parts catalog. I see that this bush is in the drawing, but without a part number in my 2015 parts catalog.
 
I have asked my local dealer but have not had much luck. He said he would look into it but have not heard anything back.

How would you recommend removing material from the inside? There is a small end gap already.

I’d like to make these work as I already have $$ invested and can’t return them.

If all else fails I’ll check with Matto.

Thanks guys.

I need the bushings for the inner cartridge not the normal fork tube. The previous owner broke the fork bleeder and continued to ride which allowed dirt and moisture into the inner cartridge.

Find a Beta dealer and enquire there. I found they have pretty good access to the OEM Marzocchi parts. Be prepared to open the wallet.

Not the same fork at all.

The typical inner and outer bushings for the 48mm Zoke can be found in the correct sizes quite easily. The bushing for the ICS piston doesn't really have any cross overs and given that they were a fork that were used on the Gassers and Betas for a few years (with both brands now using other brands; KYB and Sachs), they could be hard to come by.

Can you measure (in mm) the sizes? I have my crap Sachs CC forks of a Beta to bits and the piston looks very similar. If the sizes are the same you can get the bushings from a Beta dealer. PM me I'll get my callipers out in the mean time.

These are the 2nd set of bushings(35151) that I ordered. The 36mm (36151) bushings were way to loose. I wonder if they bushings are getting compressed to the point that the end gap is closing.

What I would do (as I have a lathe):
make a holder for the bushing. (a cylinder of slightly lower ID than the bush OD), puth the holder in the lathe and the bushing in the holder. As you want to remove only a slight amount, use e.g. 320 paper and lightly remove some material.
Place the bushing on the piston, measure O/D.
Repeat as needed.

I haven't tried to do it, but that would be my approach.
 
iv just asked on gg riders fb for you . bit of a long shot what about there mountain bike forks id be surprised if marzocchi had them made specially
 
as i expected richard wilson usa has a set also zipty racing n america has them rw also has softer ics springs
 
I pm'd you with the sizes of the Beta Sachs CC cartridge bushes. I think they might fit. Only thing is that you might have to adjust the end gap a bit.
