chances are it may not have been done, but since the stems are the right length you might get away with taking up the tollerances with bearings and shims on the stem or maybe have to have the dt stem pressed into the gsm yoke
Sounds like you need some new bearings which match the gsm on their inner diameter and the dtr on their outer - go down to your local bearing shop with the sizes and see if they can help you out.
lol this snow is horrible i still havnt got around to tofitting the forks all i can do is measure up. ive managed to get a brembo brake for the forks that fit and measured up the bearings which im going to fit as soon as the snow clears up.
the top bearings were fine from the dt but the bottom were a bit more of a challenge in the end i had a bearing race specially machined to accompany the gsm bottm bearings.
