Hey. I know this question has been asked before ... but the answers are so divided.

I have a track fork, original to my frame.

I have a clamp on brake ... I have a fork replacement. But i don't want to use either.

I want to drill my track fork , cause I'm stupid and stubborn.

My brother is a machinist by trade, so he can easily drill it. And do a perfect job.
I also have a brake that is short reach enough.

I really don't care about sacrificing the "re-sale" value of this track bike. Or it's track-bike integrity. :/

I don't want to ride brakeless. I like riding fixed on the street, and i feel so much better having a front brake in the city cause I'm old, and people in cars are mental.

The question I'm asking, is if i drill my fork: is it dangerous? To me and my bike?, with any unintended force that it might endure.
Not like I'll be putting a whole lot of weight on the front end of my bike mind you. I'm pretty lightweight @ 135lbs ... not sure if that even matters.

Thanks.
Here is a pic of the crown.
