43mm Rake fork on Fuji Track Pro

Hey!
I have a Fuji TP and want to add a new fork that is drilled for a brake. I have been riding brakeless for four years and my knees are getting tired of it. I have found that most of the forks are 43mm in rake and the Fuji came with 40mm. I would just pick up a 40mm rake fork, but the selection for cheapish carbon forks on eBay are mostly 43mm.
Thanks!

3mm isn't going to make much of a difference, unless you are doing track riding. It will make your bike a little looser, but you are going to be hard pressed to notice the difference.
