2mm of A-C difference is pretty small a change for that spec. Here are two threads I created involving non traditional crown/fork making to offer some ideas. Andy

I read through and enjoyed the pictures and story of your "long time coming" build. I find beauty in steel and brass rod coming together like that! The amount of filler you used on the fork is much more conservative than what I saw on the Youtube channel. I guess I thought you needed that much for strength. My son weights about 190 and now that he is in his forties, rides a little more conservatively that he use to. I am rethinking building the fork myself and trying to reach a happy medium on the amount of rod I use. Thanks for sharing that.
