What I really need to know however is how safe would the forks be afterwards?
Not a question I can answer, but Winston can and he wouldn't have done it unless he thought it was.
You know he used to build for Roberts? I think it was @coldharbour (no mean tube-wrangler himself), who described him as one of the most experienced builders in the business today.

Interesting.
As you can imagine steerer tube jiggery-pokery is a critical issue and not to be bodged.
One answer I got was that the old tube is heated out and a new one inserted, the caveat being it depends on the model of fork as to whether the fork blades would be affected by the heat.
What I really need to know however is how safe would the forks be afterwards?
I don't suppose you could take a close-up of the steerer tube - crown interface could you?
thanks,
