The tubes got stuck in customs for like 2 months, so it was a bit of a hassle.
If anybody ever need to change outertubes, husky shivers will work.

You may want to take some accurate measurements of the OD of each fork tube (old vs. new) to ascertain if the diameters differ at all. You may have issues with the action of the fork and/or premature wear of the fork components if the clamp was not designed for that specific diameter of tube at the lower clamp. ie. binding

It would be a simple enough to have the lower clamps machined to the correct ID if needed.
