I recently drilled a mountain bike fork in the center for accessory
mounting; I don't think it's a big deal. If the fork in question is
like mine, it's 4130 steel and stronger than it needs to be. Use a

Yep, friction all the way. It has the Dia Comp/Rivendell Silver

You could install a 1" star nut from the underside inside the steer

I've used both Centaur and Chorus Ergo's in the past and both worked
great. I don't seem to recall changes in hood shape except the 2010
change. The Centaur and Veloce are available with silver levers if
that makes a difference.
