Hi all. I've rebuilt forks in the past but never really questions what each of the parts actually does because I just go ahead and replace these parts. Maybe someone here can shed some light on this for me.

The question I have is on part number 6 and 11. 6 is the slider of course and is responsible for the forks "slop" right? What is the purpose of 11? Is that also supposed to deal with "slop"? On this particular set of forks I just took apart, 11 is split and looks quite worn. I was wondering if it matters to put it back in or if I could make one of PVC or aluminum or something?
