have a search on www.retrobike.co.uk there have been several chats in forum about this very issue. iirc one of members made up a batch of adaptors. the mountings are not is.
I'm sure cynic-al can make you something suitable......
...or more seriously, try giving Hope a call 🙂

what you do mean by not quiet there? As far as I can remember old 'zocchis were IS?
He means the holes in the mounts are something like 53mm spacing instead of the 51mm of IS that appeared after they were produced.Seem to remember there being a Formula brake made to fit them at that time, but may be wrong.
those puppies at the top were mine, I stupidly put them on a idrive which had deore disk brakes on. Cannot remember any issues apart from lookin like something from OCC.
I also have a set of Monster Ts of the same vintage and they are fine too
Got a pic of mine up just for show, striped them down, gave them a degreasing, a polish and some new sticker and came up nice.
So far ive spent
Frame - RAPTOR £25
Headset - ONE23 £8
Stem - SPANK £ 10
Forks - Marazocchi bomber jr t - £ 90
