Thanks all for the really helpful comments. Am really hoping the fork isn’t dead because I’d think it’s an integral part of the frame! I’ve heard that rethreading the fork with brass is also a solution..?
More pictures as requested; interestingly I think the locknut cap seems to still screw down fine (without the headset) and it’s just the main headset that is the problem? Which makes me now wonder if the steerer is too short because the locknut doesn’t go all the way down. Am fairly sure the main headset threads are stripped because the headset turns freely on the fork..
