Your best bet might be to reach out to Fox directly. Since taking over Marzocchi, they might have the documentation somewhere.

But make sure you hit up the Fox service center in Burnaby, since some of the old Marzocchi service techs ended up there.

What do you need it for? Perhaps just asking a question will help.

ok, here's a question for you:
what is Manufacturer code (that's written in that PDF part list) for #89 ?

I guess you don't have that info and you will ask - why would I search for that code, I'd say - to find that part in the internet by exact code. You'd ask - well then search by title, for example, 'Marzocchi 888 RC3 evo 2011 Compression adjuster knob", I'd say - well, yes, I tried and it finds yellow knob that is NOT suitable for 888 2011 !
nice?
well, please, if anyone has that Part List - share.

Is this the part you're saying won't work? Should work for every 888 RC3, RC3 Evo, & RC3 Evo V2 from 2010 to 2014.

SKU: 8501447

Or is your fork not an RC3 model? If that's the case I'd be curious why you'd want the 2nd half of the page to look at part numbers for the wrong fork.

Marzocchis catalog from 2011 shows an 888 RCV, has two longer knobs on the bottom of the fork. Is that what you're looking for? http://web.archive.org/web/20110104134134/https://www.marzocchi.com/Docs/Marzocchi-2011-MTB-lineup.pdf

If you indeed have an RCV would this be what you're after? https://bicyclesuspension.de/products/marzocchi-8501508-knob-kit-red-lower-rebound-rv

I wrote about that only yellow knob that can be found in the web..
there must be another one with hole for a tiny screw, cause other way it woun't hold on fork (and yes, oring woun't help with it).

I think we've found your issue. The yellow knob and o Ring are correct. Your foot nut is rounded off (crap design anyway) and it no longer has the ridges to hold the O-ring securely. https://bicyclesuspension.de/collections/nuts/products/marzocchi-bodenmutter-rc3-evo-2010-black

To keep this from happening in the future, grind the socket face flat, usually there is 3-4mm of taper on the end of the socket that does not grip anything. That will round these off. File or grind that taper away and it will be able to grip the socket more securely. Failure to do that will just round it off again.

or, I can just drill a hole in a knob and use a bolt to secure it once an for good. )

Yep, that's another option.
