So I have a later set of showa forks that have the 65 mm spacing for the brakes, can I get away with just swapping the stanchions around if I want to convert them to earlier forks with 40 mm spacing for the brakes?

Would think so but you could probably just swap the bottoms over?

That was my first though, but probably best to check.
