My apologies, couldn;t quite make out what you were asking.  The forks are held in the frame by the headset which working from the forkd upwards is made up of a fork race, a bearing race, a bearing cup, a bearing cup, a bearing race, a threaded top race, a washer and finally a threaded lock nut.

You could try your local bike shop if you have one, they might have one that would fit in their spares bin but generally you;ll need to buy a headset to get one.  Halfrauds do a cheapy for about a tenner or so.
