Fork overhaul and replacement

I changed the fork from 2011 Fox Float RLC 150 15QR to 2012 Fox Float DRCV RLC 150 15QR Taper. Only differences are steerer size and air spring construction.
Left: 2011Fox Float RLC 150 15QR
Right: 2012 Fox Float DRCV RLC 150 15QR Taper

I used old one for 1 year and half. New one in black is that I won the bid from Yahoo Auction. Before changing the fork, I disassembled the fork to check and see the inside of the spring chamber. I was curios about how the inside of the construction of the TREK DRCV air spring is.
The Trek DRCV air spring seems to be more cost than a normal Fox float air spring.
Also I overhauled the old 2011Fox float fork then stored it.
Done..
