With a brake plate that looks that thin all the effort with your hand will be spent warping the brake plate and not into braking, is there an internal stiffening plate which was optional on the Norton TLS.

I'd be inclined to refer to that as a "Cable Anchor", and they can come in a number of variations. One, as part of the backing plate like you show; two, cast as part of the lower fork leg (stanchion); three, a separate bracket that is sandwiched with the fender mounting bracket; plus others, I'm sure. These are just what come to mind that I've seen in the past. Any of them are viable, and the separate bracket that uses the fender mount might be the easiest to fabricate.

As nate suggested, I would go with the fabricated bracket off the fender mount, because the stock bracket which holds the hydraulic hose for the disc brake set up will probably work with very little modification. It's part #29 on this oldbritt's diagram.

here's where that bracket mounts on the fork slider. it's where the rubber brake hose trasitions to the metal brake line. You can just barely see the edge of it sticking out behind the slider.

At that point, you'll need to make up your own cable. (which is not hard to do) I bought all the stuff to make my rear brake cable from Flanders. I also had to create an anchor point on the opposite side of my swingarm when I moved the rear brake to the timing side of the bike. I made the custom cable and had a new anchor welded and the brake works fine. I also had to fashion a return spring which I put on the foot lever instead of the brake actuator arm. Once you get your basic geometry set, you'll either have a spring on your brake arm levers or you'll need to figure that out.

Bear in mind that Indian Enfield parts are generally very badly made. Check at an early stage whether the rim and drum are anywhere near round and concentric.

Those caliper mounting points on the slider look like good strong positions for the cable stop and torque arm.
