Default Help finding brake caliper bracket

Hey guys. I bought the wrong calipers for my forks like every other dumbo out there. In my defense I haven’t had a front brake in 15 years.

Can someone knowledgeable tell me if there is a purchasable adapter that exists for my situation? I do not know the exact years for my forks only that they may be late 70’s. The dual disc calipers that I bought are for 84-99’ and I can’t get them to mount on the lowers. I’m running two 10” discs on a mag wheel and there is like a millimeter of clearance between the disc and the fork lowers… but they still spin freely.

Any help is appreciated, thank you.

Ah okay, I am learning that now. I got the 84-99 calipers but I need the 77-83 ones. I’m currently making a bracket for a pm caliper instead to see if they’ll work. Thank you for the help. Will update if needed
