You can get a mig welder & weld in the pitts, it takes time, but is the best way  :daumenhoch: Then file them down, I should imagine forks won't be to hard to do.

You can sand but depends how deep they are  :)

sandpaper works well, wet and dry is class stuff as its verry fine, will take a while but its a winner
