Hey :)
I don't take anything badly.
I understand and thanks for your worries.What you must know is the fork weight is around 2kg...
As I red on Surly's website the steel used on their bikes is 4130 Chromoly, double butted for the frame and not for the fork...
I think it's pretty heavy and it can handle the disc tab plus the eyelets. (I'll take a picture on the other side tomorrow)You also must know that I won't ride this bike like a pro racer, it's a pub bike. So I'll ride it as slow as my blood alcool will allow.
But I keep in mind what you said, and I'll tell you if it fails (me or my friends if I brake my bones).
Edit : my bad, the Steamroller fork is 1kg. Not 2.

Doesn't matter dude, the tubing isn't design to withstand the force of the disc brakes against it, he can braze it as much as he can but it doesn't escape the fact the tubing is too thin.

Just take care :)
I had a bad crash last winter due to some diy rack failure.

Mate, don't take this badly, but I don't think your setup here is entirely safe. If this is mig/mag welds onto forks, I fear there's not enough penetration to make a strong bond. If it has in fact been hot enough to bond strong enough you might have compromised the forks. Also your forks are not build for disc brakes it seems. Silver soldered fork Crown and fork legs might not be strong enough to take load from braking.
