You can get canti hangers that fit in amongst or replace headset spacer(s) or the force-40 style jaspers that bolt into the fork crown.

I'm assuming rigid forks, because it's quite possible a boingy fork would have an integrated brace / hanger thingmy.
 
i have finally sourced a fork for this build, i've never even heard of this fork before, but doing some research it seems just to be right for this bike.

the fork is a use/pashley rigid fork.

i even sourced a bottom bracket.

looking forward to this build.
