I am using IS avid juicy brake mount adapter (185mm) on my present forks but if I buy a new fork which is post mount do I just need to change the adapter for post mount or is the caliper different? Please help clear up my confusion.
You'll probably need something like this

but check with the fork to see what size rotors the post mount is designed for! Most are to fit a 160 mm disc without and adaptor.
Calipers are the same, buy a proper Avid mount and you'll not be faffing with extra washers(there's enough to faff with as stendard)to gain rotor clearance. Approx cost of £7 in most LBS.
Thanks, It would be on a Fox Float.
So it is just the adapter. Hate to have to buy a new brake as well as a fork.
