The sleeve nut won’t fit into the hole in the fork if it’s drilled for nutted callipers though surely?
You say “frame” but looking at that it looks more like a front set up so I’d this going on the fork?
What material?
If you need a nutted rear caliper but don’t have one, a modern front caliper will have a long enough axle that you can get a nut on it (usually).

Is this do-able and safe (assuming the narrower section of the nut can enter the fork from the rear)?
The fork wants a nutted caliper I don't have. The caliper's bolt will get threaded by 15mm of nut so more than it would have had with a nylock nut on the outside, and the 2 washers fit snuggish and are decent i.e. they shouldn't get pulled through.
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
