Conversion in Argentina

The initial plan was to take the fork to a local guy who prepares quad bikes for the Dakar, he would have tig welded on an ISO mount and would no doubt have done a fine job, although it probably would have ended up very chunky looking and a little over-engineered on a bicycle.

Through a local fixed gear forum I found a young, Irish( I think he's Irish) framebuilder living in Buenos Aires. I have seen photos of his work and importantly he has done before **exactly **what I am after. Fillet brazing a post mount (I think it is a cleaner look) disc support to a similar fork to mine. I liked what he did and figure second time round will only be an improvement on his already fine initial attempt.

You really can't just weld a disc tabs on any fork unless you beef up the fork.

I sincerely hope that bloke know what he's doing.
