I see dead people, so can't be sure whether it's already claimed you or not ๐Ÿ™

however, all the avids I've seen have separate caliper and adaptor. The caliper always attaches to the mount as if it was a post-mount fork. If yer fork is PM, you won't need an adaptor at all unless you want bigger discs

make sure you still use both sets of conical washers, they are part of the caliper mounting (not part of the adaptor)

Thanks Sato already done that ๐Ÿ˜‰
only diff is really where the hose exits and was just a bit worried re clearance as it seems to work fine
