Don,
Smirking here as I'm sort of in the same situation. My Stumpjumper as acquired came with a 26" fork but a really weird one. Obviously was changed out at some time. Neat looking bi-plane crown but cheaper stamped fork ends and NO cantilever bosses. It had a side pull brake caliper with typical center pivot mount. You're welcome to this fork for free.

Actually, prior I've offered the entire bike for a nominal amount to even free...LOL.
No takers so I changed my mind and decided to keep as a Winter rider, loaner, etc.. I'm calling it the Specialized Chainbreaker.

In continuation, I decided against brazing canti bosses for the above and in place acquired a NOS but a chrome fork with brake bosses. Its stamped 'Spinner'. Big beefy and beautiful. Cast crown, quality throughout, heavier duty ends, nicely done bosses. Problem is, I don't have a clue what thread it uses. I took it to a LBS and sorted through all their drawers of new and old headstock parts. No such luck. One of these days I'll have to take it to another, but for now the bike remains apart.
