Marzocchi Shiver brake issue

[firedream]

Hey all i bought some Marzocchi Shiver forks for my bike and the brake set up i got with them (via ebay) are formula but the two bolt holes do not line up with the forks. the brakes kinda look like they may have been used previously but the forks are brand new. i can't work out if there is a braket missing ( i am thinking no) or these are just the wrong brake set up. if this is the case how easy is another set up to come by? help much appreciated! check link for pics of forks and brakes:

Ahh then sorry bro can't help good luck

can i put any other brand of brakes on this set of forks

 

[wogtaz ryder]

Can you link the ebay add of the ones you bought? i would keep contacting the seller , because you definitely need the red adapter .

You mite get lucky and find a used adapter , because some people update the brakes to a 65 setup and i think that needs another adapter

You ahould be able to slot a whole heap of different brake setups on them. You'll likely need a different mounting plate if they are drastically different though... Some guys on here are running Brembo's!

I thought about editing the post, but no, nice spot

Note to self - must improve touch typing...

On topic - You bought them through the exact ad you linked? There is no mention of brakes or brackets...

What he shows is a complete setup, and he did quote "with brakes"... If he doesn't respond (make sure you use ebay messages as they can be tracked by ebay), report him. Just give him a week or so and a reminder before you report

He has 100% feedback so I'd imagine he'll be easy enough to deal with (although you never know with some people *shrugs*)...
