Definitely drill.
Old brakes are shit. They *really *are.
Hardly any brakes have a long bolt and nuts. Drilling is the simplest option. It really isn't hard, and if you don't want to then a shop, bike or general diy can do it for you. Just make sure the fork is secure when you do it.
The only *possible *reason not to is if it is an especially rare and pristine bike who's value will be massively reduced by drilling the back of the fork.
