So saw diy how to videos, I probably could do it myself but rather have a professional frame builder do it. So any recommendations for this

@paton cheers for the list.

Anyone had this done? Who did you use?

For steel forks I've silver soldered diy. A plumbing mapp gas torch is plenty hot enough. 55% silver rod and flux from ebay. Bosses can just be M5 nuts with half the hex skimmed off if you know anyone with a lathe. Doing it that way is much smaller holes in your fork than nutserts and a more structural / less stress raiser end result.

What you going to attach to them OP? Just bottle cages or full rack to take bags and panniers? Saw that dr Jon has some fork clips coming out which might do the job and means you can take them off when you don’t need them.
