Holes match up to Rock shox, but are lacking the raised bit and spring hole. I don't think they are much better than originals but you could use it with internal spring brakes I guess and it looks a bit cooler. Anyone know who made this or what fork it's for?

Thanks for your thoughts

Which is a modified Mag? What did they do for brake springs? I can only find one tiny murky imagine from a dead ebay ad that appears it could be a match but not possible to make it out.
 
It fits to Mags, (it's even a bit more stiff than oryginal one), but You need to find also 2 little things beeing between brace and pivots (they holds brake springs in correct place)
I didn't find oryginal ones, so maked them myself

Thanks Skolioza. I actually plan to use Control Tech cantilever with the spring in the cross-over wire so I think I could use the brace without having to make the spring adapters! Kind of perfect really.
 
Re:

I was trying to fit Specialized brace to Mags with oryginal pivot bolts and without distance pads - and something go wrong...
Unfortunately I do not remember what goes wrong, but possibly oryginal Mag's pivots could be to long and not holds the brace correctly, or brake arms (Shimano XT) slides too deep to the brace and wipes the brace when moving...

oh I see. so I'll still need a spacer. wonder how that affects the cable hanger/brake cable angle?
 
With spacers all three points (brake arm ends and cable hole in the brace) ar in line if that's You're asking for
