anyone happen to know if it'll fit?
i recall using an extra long nut to get more than a couple threads engaged for the front brake. i can see 13mm and 10mm available but nothing longer.

I fabricated my own for a Reynolds fork.
Used 3/8" ( very close to 10mm) inch hex stock. Lathed it down to fit in the fork crown and tapped each end. Brass was the easiest material to work with.
While commonly called Sheldon nuts I think Gilles Berthoud was the first to provide this solution.
