Aftermarket fork question

this might sound stupid but that is because I am stupid... I am looking for an aftermarket fork for my langster Pro (which has an integrated headset.) I bought the bike used, so the fork was already cut, and i need more stack. Will any track fork work? I’m looking at the Alpina forks on retro-gression. This will be a temporary solution until my new bike comes in. Thanks for any info

Most likely the fork is going to be 1 1/8 straight steerer so you just need to find something that will fit that and the same rake and you will probably need a new crown race. That Alpina may work but it may also not work depending on rake.
