If you've got access to an engineering dept full of dudes in overalls and a steely calm I'm sure they can drill that fork in no time at all without slipping with the drill and chipping the paint. Just make sure they do it in the right place so the caliper clears the bottom headset cup and doesn't rub the tyre!
