Can I replace spacers for bushings?

I think you could be able to with a little finagling, but getting the crown race set & in place may be a hurdle you would have to overcome, possibly...
I'm no expert, just what I was thinking if I was trying to do that.
Cool bike, good luck!

Thanks. The 3G linkage website states that spacers will be required on top and bottom which I found odd. But my worries are more around the 1 to 1 fit. I'd hate to have to hollow the bushing out since it's nice and smooth inside. Would 1 and a quarter I.D. be as loose as commercial spacers?
Are you sure that is a 1" steertube?
I thought the imperial springers were 1-1/8"

Very cool. I'm working on a very similar project and am getting ready to cut new plates to convert to an over/under spring set up also.
1st mock-up with short chopper forks.
These are the forks I'm adding the spring portion from 1st photo to. Initial mock-up.

I'd read the same, (possibly here on rrb), but the steerer is 25.4 while the stanchions are one and an eighth.
I got a pipe to use under the neck. My game plan was is to put washers and bearings atop the sleeve / under the neck but I'm not familiar with the head gear. The steerer should be the same size but the neck looks much thicker. Prior to disassembling could anyone tell me if I can simply transfer the headset or might I need some other components to keep it snug yet rotating?
Here's the headset being taken apart:
