LRM, full props man, great job you did too.
Hmmm, now you've inspired me to have a go at that myself, as mine is a cheapy crabon CX fork, so no big deal if it don't work to well.
Any idea where can gets the mounts to err... mount?
AngelD-
I used just some fender mounts hacked off from a some old frame. Mount in the middle is home made from 1mm (I think, if remember right) thick flat iron shaped round and 6mm threads in for the bolt. - Then they just brazed in to some thin metal plate and after that rounded to fit better in the fork shapes.

I did the mounts. What it did cost? Basicly nothing. Ok, I was too tired to braze the actual mounts and I didin't have gas on my torch, so I get the mounts brazed and that cost me like £15. Rest I loaned from frend's and so on. I glued the mounts to the fork with 3M panel bonding adheisive (same stuff that it used to glue non structural car panels. Roofs, door panels and so on) Next step was adding carbon fiber to the mix. They might just hold only with the adheisive, but because carbon fiber was available I give it a shot. - So I just basicly added carbon fiber (rovings) over the glueded mounts. When that was dried, I just shaped them way I liked with body kit.
