I have J range forks in a s3 framed sprinter want to keep them as lighter than s3 forks.Would the Indian damper brackets that slip on the axle fit a J range front links?

If J forks are closer to Vega / Luna, there are wheel nuts that the lower dampers can bolt to.
If the same applies cut series 3 springs and rods along with series 2 fork link pivot bolts fit Vega forks for more 'beef' at I guess not much extra weight!
If J & Luna forks are chalk & cheese, I'm sorry for talking nonsense!

These are the ones
https://www.riminilambrettacentre.com/e ... mburo.htmlI'm sure I've seen them somewhere else, possibly one of the German shops but my memory is shocking!
Alternatively I drilled & tapped the end of the axle bar to fit the lower damper bolts, but maybe not ideal for your race purposes!
