do you have a picture of one?
might make it easier to identify at the bottom of the bike bits box.

Unfortunatly I dont!

I described this issue to the LBS and the guy wanted to see it.

As soon as he saw it it said that Marzocchi for like 5 years needed an adaptor that is about twice the thickness of most adaptors. I have tried googling it but had no luck!

I currently have about 6mm of spacers in. I just want to elimate play as hard downhill riding will loosen them!

Not sure what you mean, the IS mount bombers I have came with 2 uber thick spacers (>5mm) and long bolts, you just bung your IS mount brakes on with those, if you don't have the spacers I'd have thought using lots of smaller ones would work just as well.

The post mount bombers I used to have were standard post mount, use standard adaptors.

Im not sure on what they are either, was just said by the LBS that marzocchi used to produce them. I have 3 spacers on each bolt at the moment with the extra long bolt and it runs fine. Just dont like have 6 spacers on the front adaptor!

Just wanted to see if anyone had one kicking around from and old fork setup

ahhh sounds like you want one of [url= http://www.evanscycles.com/products/formula/front-post-mount-adaptor-for-marzocchi-qr20-180mm-ec027032 ]these[/url] TBH marzocchi seem to be happy with the brakes being spaced right out so I wouldn't worry about it if I was you.

Cheers Donk - ยฃ35, thats steep for an adaptor! just to replace having spacers, think I can live with having the spacers on. Just need to check it now and then!
