PhilDAS-
Quite possibly. I've seen an instructional on YouTube that takes 2 cut donor forks and slaps a tray in between them.
I'll be giving that a go if this fails. Only slightly invested in these forks, given that I've already bought it. Unfortunately that means buying 2 more forks, as these are alu forks (but steel steerer)Edit: somebody linked it above as I was typing

Looking for advice on this project.
I picked up this 20" fork with the intention of making a homebrew Crust Clydesdale, with a rack mounted on the canti bosses. However this is my first metalwork project and, being a bit of a tit, I've jumped in without planning it properly.
I'm pretty sure I can achieve the desired effect by raising the crown race, the issue is I'm not sure how to go about doing that. Could I simply weld up a 'stopper' at the correct height, then drop the crown race onto it?
Equally, if there's a better way of doing it I'd be glad to hear it.
My local maker space only has welding facilities, not brazing.
Much appreciated.
