anyone know if the braces are interchangeable with earlier year XC forks? i'm thinking XC500 should work for sure. curious about XC400 and earlier. some of them look a little sleeker and less bulky.

You are right, the braces between XC500 and XC600/700 should be interchangeable, I can check in detail, if needed. The older ones won't fit, they have other dimensions.
Do you need one (XC500)?
BULLSHIT! I had to edit this post, because it is wrong.
By thinking about this 2 mm and the stanchion tubes (XC500 = 24mm and XC600/XC700=26mm by same distance in the axle) it is clear, that this will not fit.
Very bad day for 'Dr_Marzocchi' ... should give the 'Dr.' back ... :-/
Sorry, Frank!
