Brake Mount Questions

Sorry about this...
I'm in the process of building up a new bike, and I'm looking at brakes. CRC have a great deal on Avid Elixirs at the moment, and I'm looking into buying some. I've already got the forks, and they're post mount. However, the Avid's are IS, and I'm wondering if I can get hold of a mount converter for a 203mm disc? I can't see any on CRC, and to be honest, I'm not entirely sure if I know what I'm doing with this.
Thanks

I know not where I am going, my future will decide. But it's not the destination, it's the glory of the ride.

Cheers diy.
Just had a look at the mounts... I may be being incredibly thick, but they don't do IS calliper - PM forks adaptors... Only the other way round. Any chance I can just turn it over?

The calipers are actually post mount, they just come with an IS adapter.
I think you need a 203mm PM to PM adapter, and CRC do sell them:

Although superstar are cheaper; it's their type 8.0 -
Sorry then its type 8 you need.
All the Avids are PM in the sense that you can bolt them directly to the post if its a 160mm rotor, so an Avid which is IS mount, simply has an adapter to connect the brake to an IS 160/185/203mm fork.
Edit JJ beat me to it.0 -
Ahh! Brilliant. I can see the mount now... I was just being thick.
Thanks very much guys - happy now.
