Any input would be great!

Re:

Elastomers look like MCU type and given you have type 2 looking adaptors are probably the type two mcu type. They're 22mm iirc, Indy are 17mm given or take a mm as I cannot remember exactly.
Don't know manitou diameters.

Some of them look new, some are worn.

Top crown is rockshox, measure it as it looks like mag but it's not a rockshox branded one as the crown is not SL shiney.

Wish I could see the pictures in the mobile reply as going of what I remember seeing.

Thx, MCu? What's that? Also, any input on my other mag21 crown thread? Thx!!
 
That last piece - CARBON FIBER S/T UPGADE KIT - I think that's a reinforcement for the steerer tube on certain Manitou models.

I had X-Vert Super on a Specialized Enduro, and I remember getting a plug just like that (it was a safety thing) and I had to jam it in the steerer tube.

Looking back, it doesn't seem like something the consumer should have been doing, but I'm sure I did it, and not the shop.
 
Re:

Cool thx everyone! I have a bunch more to figure out. I'm going to take some measurements

What's the deal with those springs? Two if them say "2000 judy soft". Did Judy forks have elastomers or springs?

My best guess for the other crowns is that they are for manitou Mach 5's

I bet you are right thx! They are all nos... Wonder if anyone wants them?
 
Re:

MCU 95/96 lots of short MCU elastomers

TypeII 97 (short spring top, long MCU elastomers bottom)

TypeIII 98. Bottom MCU became a spring,
Later in hydrocoil era they had one long spring iirc.
