Anyone know where I can get one of these.

Can find a rear but not a front.

Will a BB5 adaptor work?

I think I've got one spare you can have for not much - is it the one that comes with the brake?

Yes.

Looking at some secondhand calipers, but no mounts included.

I will get in touch if I go ahead with the purchase.

Yup I've got one then - just put 185mm rotors on mine.

Any 160mm IS (on the fork) to Post (the calliper) mount will work. If the callipers don't come with mounts check that they at least have the mounting bolts and CPS cups.

Mk1fan, thanks for the response.

I had totally overlooked the fact that Avid usually come with the "tri-alignment" setup.

I assume it would still mount without it, as per other calipers, but would not be at the correct height relative to the disc or be able to be setup so precisely.

The CPS washers are the same ones that come with V brake pads. To get the same distance from the rotor you'll need 3 or 4mm of washers under the calliper to replace the CPS washers.

FWIW Chain Reaction have 160mm front mounts in stock (as well as the offers above).
