I have a Surly 1x1 fork with IS mount and 160mm rotor.
I have a Hope Tech X2 calliper post mount.
I need an adaptor.

Googling this morning I can only find a "front IS to Post +20mm" but I don't think I need the extra 20mm, the calliper is already geared up for a 160mm rotor, right?

Am hoping someone out there can ease my pain ๐Ÿ™‚

The one you speak of will be for mounting an older style IS caliper onto a post mount fork.
Try looking for one the other way round, ie post to IS.
The hope model for this is an "A" (and has a big capital A etched on it) [url= http://media.chainreactioncycles.com/s7viewers/html5/genericZoomMobile.html?config=ChainReactionCycles%2FZoom_HTML5_PDP&asset=ChainReactionCycles%2Fprod13737_Silver_NE_01&locale=en&contentRoot=http://media.chainreactioncycles.com/skins/&serverUrl=http://media.chainreactioncycles.com/is/image/&zoomView.iconEffect=1 ]click this for piccy[/url] but anything that is described as 'Front 160mm post to IS' will do as the Hope ones are a bit nice (cnc machined rather than cast like most others) and therefore a bit expensive.

Thanks for the advice. I found one eventually at Tarty Bikes in Preston - excellent quick delivery.
