Can anyone identify if this is a heavy duty Cessna fork?

Have you modified your aircraft? STC? STOL Kit? Major rebuild from just a data plate?

It doesnt look like it to me. Doesnt have much of a shoulder on it. And if it came off a 210 then it definitely isn't.
Can they provide you with some measurements? Width and height from the axle to the top? That would give is something to compare.
Again, first glance and my gut tells me its not a HD fork. And the more I think about it the more sure I am. I am quite sure the HD 206 forks were not cast, but solid steel. My parts book for my '65 confirms that. The cast ones were on some of the older 175/182s...

Later 310 forks were cast and will work fine for a 600x6 wheel and tire. I think later 206 fork were also cast. But I cannot tell what fork that is without a measurement
