Next question, is brazing a disc tab likely to be strong enough or would it need tig or something?

(I'm not just going to buy a blow torch and try to put disc brakes on a frame)

Only caveat being don't do forks to start with. Fork failures are nasty, and especially don't do disc forks, as the loading forces are that much greater in some aspects.

I can’t put ikea furniture together, there’s no way I’d ride forks that I’d made.

Am looking to make my own disc brake forks for a brompton.

Any advice?
