I got a set of these a while ago for my budget inbred build.

Mazocchi MX comps with what I presume is a post mount.

Can anyone tell me what bracket I need to fit a hope mini to them?

I have exactly the same forks with a Hope Mono M4. Will fit fine with post mount to IS adapter but will require a +20mm disc. So if it's a caliper designed for 160mm, the adapter will push it out to 180mm.

Will dig out a photo, 2 secs...

Thanks so far. I'll try and explain the problem. Basically when I trial fit the caliper onto the disk the caliper mounts are in line with the post mounts. I bought a mono mini mount but its straight therefore when I try and fit it the caliper is about 10mm out. Also the mount has a bend in it so the caliper will not bolt up to it.
I've took some pics to see if it helps.

Thanks

You've got the wrong mount there,you have a post mount fork and an IS caliper, your mount is for IS fork and post mount caliper.
To ensure you get the correct mount you'll also need to know the size of disc, and the number stamped on the caliper's inside lower mounting, unless they worked together previously, in which case you'll need a HBSM20 mount and a 20mm larger disc.
