Fork Mount Construction - Front-Rear Fascia Support Braces

  Front and Rear Fascia Support Braces (Click for enlarged view)
At its widest point on both sides of the fork mount head, or hips, braces that span the space between the front and rear fork tine fascia are inserted. The photo above shows how they are positioned. The pieces are 7 1/4" by 4 3/8" inches and prevent flexure of the protruding hips. Additional braces may be employed further up the tapered arm/ tine in an effort to reduce as my flexure as possible.
