Fork upgrade

I just updated the fork on my "Basecamp," "mountain bike." Swapped out the old Suntour fork for an inexpensive "carbon," fork. Weighs a lot lighter than the suspension fork. I went this, because I highly doubt that I'll ever shred on mountain bike trails. Went pretty smooth, though I managed to snap one star nut, and had to fish it out of the fork. Dorked up and rounded out a bolt in the brake lever. Fortunately for me I had a spare one. The front wheel needs truing, and I have ordered a truing stand. (Apologies if I posted in the right forum for this, feel free to move it.)
