Front wheel question

[Dave uk]

Hi all….
Is it possible to fit a drum brake front wheel into 1980 forks without too much alteration?
Or do I need the earlier 34mm forks, yokes ( tripletrees) etc.

Thanks

The biggest problem is the left fork lower doesn't have the little nub cast into it for the brake plate to slot into.

Thanks Jim…..
It’s little tips like that I need.
Maybe it’s a non starter as an idea……I will stay with the original disk brake for now……

PS any "random drum front wheel" that uses a stay arm to prevent rotation will be "pretty easy" to fit.
