Gadzooks Sah! Thats a very kind offer Mr Shipwright. Thank you. Don't worry if you can't find them, I've found various old Tatt (aka Steel 1" steerer threaded 27" front forks) on ebay around the £15 + Pee and Pee mark.
I asked my 70+ year old neighbour who's 40+ year old son this Dawes originally belonged to (refer back to beginning of thread if you're an insomniac) if he still has the receipt after 36 years or so .... he didn't...he asked why... I showed him the crack in the forks... we both agreed it was shoddy that they've failed after only 35 years or so of (ab)use.
I blamed Fatchurrr. He laffed.

@FatManOnAFixie I might have a set of forks that you can have gratis if I can find them.
From memory they're part chromed part blue paint and made for 27" wheels, which your forks look like judging by the brake drop.
I'll have a look around for them this afternoon and report back.
