I have a vintage Answer Manitou 5 SX suspension fork (26", 1.25" threaded steerer) that was briefly fitted to my Gary Fisher AL-1 when it was used as my commuter bike.
The fork worked very well until the thread of a plastic adjuster failed causing it to fire into the air when I hit a bump.
It has been a few years since this failure occurred, I've kept my eye out for a replacement part that becomes available but it is a rarity.
If anyone has such a part lying in a parts bin, I'd like to buy it.
Otherwise I will sell the fork for spare parts. It is missing the rubber gaits and stickers so not a collector piece.
These photos show the part I need and a photo of a similar fork.
