A stupid Magura gustav M mount question

[downhillwego]

Yes this may sound so stupid and obvious but to me it is not.
So sorry in advance.

I have some magura gustav m brakes , i need specific mounts as they are a strange floating system.
My question is can you use normal adaptors on the gloating adaptor?
For instance my front brake is post mount , but i need a boxxer mount.
Could i not buy a hope boxxer to post mount bracket bolt it too this and possibly use a bigger rotor if needed?
Or would the stress on it just bent or snap it?
As im sure the gustav mount is steel because it is pretty heavy.

Thanks in advance for your help

Re:

Hi dhwego,
I dare saying that an adapter should be OK, given that you will not exceed your fork's maximum allowed rotor size.

Once there were different adapter for Magura Gustavs:

The three lowermost were PM adapters, for different rotor sizes.

BUT

these were much costly, and as of today are rather impossible to find, at costs upward af 50GBP each....

so I say use a Pm-IS adapter, or better even, build something like my contrption ( scroll through half of page):

I will let you know if it will hold on.

Thanks very much , yes my brakes come with the bottom very right post adaptor.
I think they should hold fine on your beast .
