Pace RC 36 disc mounts?

[red_dread]

Here's a puzzler: I've got a Pace RC36 fork which was the one you could specify either with V-brake mounts or a disc mount (I think it was Hope compatible). It was about £400 new in 1999-ish.

Stupidly, I only bought the V mounts at the time, and now I'd like to run this fork with discs but I'm told the aftermarket disc mount is no longer available.

Some even say it's not advisable because stresses from the braking forces of discs could damage the carbon lower legs.

Any experiences or suggestions out there?

1999 Evo2; disc mounts clamped around the lower leg ; and yes I have seen some cracked legs, mainly due to overtightening the bolts[2.5Nm max] or too big a disc[165mm max]. These forks suffered from air loss[I do a spring only conversion] from the air seal constantly getting dirty.
Disc mounts sometimes come up-keep searching

You're right, these do suffer from air loss, but I've recently stripped them down and liberally greased round the inside of the seals so they're a bit better now.

Thanks for the tips on disc use - if any mounts ever surface I'll snap them up because I don't want to replace this beautiful fork.
