Ok, so you agree that welding new mounts to existing fork is acceptable? i haven't ruled that out as an option, but i thought the heat might cause distortion.

A few questions about epoxy to any who might be an expert in the field.
1. Don't they glue airplanes together with this stuff now?
2. How is epoxying a tab to the fork any different than having a carbon fiber fork, which is basically fibers suspended in epoxy resin?
