I would build it as it should be and get a pair of yokes and fork legs and new stanchions etc, shouldn't be hard to find and ebay the other stuff.  What front wheel hub do you have?

When you say "later" forks, do you mean the 1968ish 6 3/4" yokes, or the OIF things?
If it's the former, they can be made to fit by using the correct longer wheel spindle, it it's the latter, I feel your pain. Good forks but too ugly for this beautiful bike.
As the man says above, Ebay has most bits....just not always when you want 'em!

You may find the right parts you need in the classified pages of OLD BIKE MART
