Brake Mounting Issues

Yesterday i fitted a new fork to my bike. Old one was a Suntour XCR which was an IS mount i think and the new fork, a Reba SL is a post mount. When i tried to fit my Quad QHD1 front caliper it wouldn't fit onto the fork as shown in the pic.

The rotor is 180 mm and the gap between the caliper and post mount on the fork is 20mm. I assume i could probably reduce the rotor size to a 160mm and this would do the job, but are there any spacers on the market which would do the job?

20mm spacers are widely available for PM.

Not sure if that particular one is compatible with your brakes but you get the idea0 -
you need either a 160 rotor or a +20 Post to Post adaptor.
the one above will work."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."
