Quick brake mount question

Missus has just bought some new forks but they're post mount. Obviously she needs an adaptor for her brakes, but will any one do? She has some basic Tektro mechanical disks that came on the bike so can she just use any PM adaptor or does it need to be a tektro one?

    Any one the right size. Take a look at Superstar.

    The tektro will be using some sort of mount already as the caliper should be 74mm post mount.

    If using 160mm rotors the caliper will bolt straight on to the fork...or if you get 180+ you will need an adapter such as this

    I would use a tektro/shimano/hayes but not a avid.

    Ah right so I may not need an adaptor? I'll have a look when I get a chance, thanks for your help :)
