The front brake is mounted directly to the fork. I ground about 1/16" out of the bottom of the slot to get the brake pads lined up.
The drop bolt was made from an old Weinmann center pull brake. I can't really describe it to well, but basically, I milled the piece that bolts to the brake bridge down to a block about 1 1/4" long, drilled a hole through it for the bolt on the Tektro, and voila! Instant drop bolt. 'taint pretty, but funtional for certain.
If I can remember, I'll post a picture of it. But for now, I'm leaving work so I can go riding!
