Do you think it’s possible to drill a hole in this fork? It seems like there’s not enough space to me but what do you think?

Probably room to drill it but you’ll likely have to space the caliper away from the crown a bit to clear the headset cups.

Depending how close the tyre sits to the underside of the crown you might also be quite limited in what callipers you’ll be able to use.

Okay, thanks for this advice! I guess the best bet is to just get it built up and see what I’ve got to play with. If I can’t get a brake to work I’ll just have to pootle about the park with it till I’ve got the hang of it haha.
