I just pushed the recessed bolt up into the fork and not through the back. I did some research and found this article by Sheldon Brown ( see front, option 3 ), which gave me confidence in the approach http://sheldonbrown.com/calipers.html
This way no drilling is needed. The steel fork is really strong, I checked it the other day after riding like that for a couple of weeks and it all seems fine
