So, regarding building forks...

Silver or brass? It seems that fairly large gaps between the crown and blades are not unusual, so logic may suggest brass? How big of a gap is too big to use silver?

Edit: just searched around for fork blades and steerer tubes and it's slim pickens. Bought some Deda Zero Uno blades and a 1.25" steerer but had to search. This thread is timely, and some of you other guys with extra parts may want to do similar?
