Yes, Distortion can be a problem in precision applications but for your
fork this should not be a concern.

Usually with TIG. A decent local car exhaust place might be able to help -
mine did when a heatshield broke off my SS system.

Right, cheers. A farm arc welder would be no good?

Just go for it - it's not hard, so long as you're not too fussy about
the end results

Well, they sell stainless rods for basic arc welders, so someone thinks
it's OK.

I welded onto some BBQ grids with a normal rod; it was fine structurally
although the SS near the weld has lost its stainless properties.

I welded some into a mini once, not realising it was stainless ( I was young
and stupid[er] ). The welding was no problem. Then I had to drill holes for
door hinges... (
