Getting a brake onto a Rockshox DHO!

Frustrating b_st_rd of a thing.

I'm trying to get a set of Shimano M755 4 pots onto a DHO.
Direct mounting the caliper with a 160mm rotor almost works but it needs to be spaced toward the hub, so I think apart from the spacing it's basically IS.
Tried a really old Boxxer 203mm mount with a 203mm rotor and the spacing side to side was better if a little out (but the Hugi hub is too close to the fork leg anyway), that's no issue I can't solve. Big issue is with the 203 Boxxer adaptor, the caliper is in juuuuuust the right spot for a 180mm rotor!

The radius difference looks to be 10mm with the 'boxxer' mount. Is this because of the 'Boxxer' mounting standard being different? Is it likely a 203mm adaptor for IS will put the caliper the right radius out?

Re:

DHO is a #3 Hope 185 front disk

Boxxer is a #6 Hope 205 front disk on a C2/E4

Not sure how this translates to modern standards...

Cheers! Didn't think of that. I'm going to conjecture that they're basically proto International Standard with the exception of the lateral spacing. There's an IS/IS 203 mount so I'll chase one down then I can use my pretty new RT-75DH rotor on it. I'm thinking I might have to have someone mill a bit off the face of my hub.
