Ah so that’s what that meant! Thank you, I didn’t think that was a viable solution at the time.
Is there a reason why you simply wouldn’t just drill both front and rear out to 8mm, though? I reckon there’s enough metal on the rear brake bridge at any rate.

You want to leave enough 6mm hole on the caliper side to stop it flapping about. That means you have to drill from inside the rear triangle, which is tricky, and you might not have enough metal to do it anyway, that top hat inserted into the bridge can be quite thin walled

Drilling the rear is a trickier job. It needs a short 90° drill attachment and a steady hand. Sometimes there's not enough material, as you say.

If you have Allen key brakes, fit the front one on the back with a nut and drill the back of the fork crown to 8mm so you can fit the rear brake at the front with an extra long tube nut
