No they are different diameter, you need ones from K2 curvy.

Could anyone tell me if I could use aluminium tube for the top spacers in me forks??

Turns out the shorter tube I discovered is too short!!

I've found some tube at work but it's Ali not steel??

YC, do you reckon this would be ok?
I'm not sure how much load the spacers are under if any?? If it's not, then I will have to use Ali tube??

I would think Ali is fine as the Guys on the US SV forum use 32mm PVC waste pipe to make new spacers - easy to cut I suppose...

nah the later curvy I think, you need the adjuster top and the washer (disc) that goes underneath, then cut the spacer tube down to suit. The washer stops the bottom of the adjuster just falling into the big hole in the spacer.
