My youngest son went riding with a bud that his dad who built off road v8 buggies. Dad re-welded the front fork. 20 year old son went down HARD face first into the ground due to the fork failing at dads weld. Broken jaw, lost a few teeth, 4 days in the hospital

There's a ton of stress on a front fork. 30 years of being in the biz. PLEASE for all that is good just walk away from trying to add disk brakes to a bike that was NEVER engineered for it.
