Looks like you came up with a good solution, John. Just curious...would it be possible to solve the problem by installing flush-head rivets with the flush head on the inside of the fork?

Mark - Yes, replacing the aftmost two rivets with flush rivets would probably be the better solution. Would require a 90° drill or attachment to machine countersink the two rivet holes ... Fortunately have that. If I notice any issues created by the nose wheel offset, I'll consider doing that.
