Fitting a rear MX1000 to a Quad.

[badbuckle]

I'm trying to get an MX1000 to fit to a Quadangle's rear brake mount but it seems that the brake was designed to fit a tube-type brake mount, not a flat one, as on a Quad.

The back of the brake doesn't fit flush to the brake mount and so doesn't tighten properly to the mount. What to do? Is it something stupidly simple, like finding a washer? If it is, will someone please tell me where I can get one, as i've looked in half a dozen hardware stores and can't find anything to do the job.

Cheers in advance.

Hi ya mate, yes i think it is as simple as changing the curved type washer, i could be wrong but you might just need two more of the curved ones, as when you put the two together they create a flat surface to clamp too?  try your local bike shop? or an old crappy brake that you don't want to use?

2 curved ones together , or a mx1000 without the self centre thing

Good advice indeed fellas. It never even occured to me to put the two curved washers together but I tried it and it works a treat. Easy when you know how eh? Thanks again.
