Question about Accutrax steerer swap/graft

Hello,
I recently got hold of an XL sized FRO PRO. It needs a fork and although I have some alternatives, I ideally want a threaded Accutrax. Finding one that is 1-1/4 and long enough for my frame is nigh on impossible.

Theres a video on YouTube by Groovy Cycles on how to graft a longer steerer on to an old fork.

Anyone know of someone who could do this work in the UK and who could potentially graft a 1-1/4 over a 1-1/8? ( its easier finding 1-1/8 than the 1-1/4s)

Cheers!
 
Re:

Have spoken to Argos and Dave Yates who've both said no. Anyone have have any other suggestions?
 
Re:

I would have thought any decent/competent fabricator would be able to sort it out.
Probably not 1.1/8-1.1/4 though as that would require the legs being removed and welded on to the new steerer due to larger head race position.
 
Re:

If the forks take a 28.6mm stem then he can probably weld one over the top, I'm only guessing though.
