I will never fit a brake to this bike. Never. Good suggestion though. Not too thrilled about removing more material from the forks but will consider it as it's the only way it'll sit flush.
Right now I'm thinking of something like a carriage bolt, see image below.
I'll have to grind away the square part & then screw it on to brake bolt nut holding the bolt from underneath the steerer tube with some needle nose vice grips.
Maybe that wouldn't look to bad?
