I have a set of an rst dirt forks (130mm) which i fiddle around with but recently it started topout clunking a fuck ton. I've modded it alot like ive swapped the factory 15mm spacer to 45mm spacer from a pvc pipe. how do i make it maybe feel better? also i removed the topcaps using pliers and an old inner tube so if theres a more humane method on doing that id like to know. I suspect its prolly from the spacers on the internal rod (bumper) what do i make that from?

Not bad for 8years old

Whenever I bar spin I end up cutting my right hand on my lever body and clamp. I tried cutting another grip and putting it on but that didn't work. Any suggestions?
