Hi, Mosso rigid forks issue

Hi, I just bought a Rigid Mosso Aluminium Forks for an amateur project (mtb + rigid forks with disc brake= sort of hybrid bike).
The problem is:
The tube is an standard 1 1/8 inch (28.6mm) "B" in picture attached.
But the lowest part of the tube, the last 4cm, is slightly wider, 30mm, marked as "A" in picture. So that i cannot fit any bearing or any riser.... the standard 1 1/8 does not reach the end. Is there any riser of 30mm width and 40mm high? Any other ideas?
Thanks

that is where the crown race fits. and is normal."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

So any ideas/options to adapt this forks to a mtb frame(SPECIALIZED HARDROCK PRO 2009)?

c. 30mm is the correct diameter for the crown race seat on a 1 1/8 steerer
the crown race does not just slip on, it needs to be lightly greased and then whomped on, either with a crown race setting tool or an improvised equivalent
the whomping process is strangely satisfyingmy bike - faster than god's and twice as shiny0 -
take the crown race of the old fork and fit it to the new fork.

I paid for it, It cost me £2 and it took only a minute to do it.0
