Even 50 years ago the shop I worked for abandoned the frame jack. Forks? Yes if the bend was not too abrupt. Fork out.
Peugeot UO8 forks? No. The blades were brazed along the trailing edge, one did open up. Peugeot USA did keep forks in stock, one may not get the color wanted but it would be fresh.
