Cheers, good to know.
I'd assumed removing the plate drops with heat, then putting the plugs straight in and buttering some braze into the gaps. Possibly just easier to replace fork blades entirely.

If it was me I’d want to trim the legs back to get past the slotted bit (assuming the legs are slotted to accept the plate drops?) to ensure 360 degree support. I’d have thought leaving the slots there would just be a massive stress riser and recipe for disaster.
Also, personally, would want to pile plenty filler material in there to ensure a proper bond.

You might be able to cut the dropout away and use a lug style end like this.

Nope, lots of different plug sizes.
Also, I can’t imagine how you would be able to remove plate your dropouts, trim the legs down (up) to remove the slotted area and end up with a longer a2c.
