what forks or frames need ISO disc brake adapter brackets??

I recently had a machinist fab up ISO disc brake conversion brackets for AMP frames and forks. It was a fun project that benefited me and a lot of other folks with old AMP frames stuck with rare proprietary disc brake options. See the thread here:

viewtopic.php?f=2&t=390221

My question is are there any other MTB forks/frames that could benefit from similar adapters? Not that I have a skilled machinist, that is very reasonably priced, I'd be keen to take on some new ventures.

Enlighten me...doesn't have to be brakes either. But, it does have to be something that would likely benefit a bunch of riders b/c it took a lot of my time to develop the prototype and organize it all. No custom one-off machining request please, especially since I am not the machinist!

Thanks!
 
Wasnt that spacing on all pre 2000 forks?I know that pre 2000 Marzocchi Z series used it.I wouldnt mind 2 brackets for my Z1 and Z2 forks if the price is right.

How about some accessibly priced mounts to fit XT thumbs on drop bars...?

Or mounts to fit downtube shifters to flat bars?

SJS have these (same as the ones for bar-end shifter to flat converters)

I think the early Marzocchi had 49mm Formula brake mounts. Unfortunately these won't help you out (but I think another company has made adapters that you need).

Thanks for the suggestion

Yeah, I make these all the time, I'll have a new batch ready late Feruary ;)
