Marin Mount Vision 1998 rear disc mount.

Good evening all,

help from any geniuses out there would be greatly appreciated.

I have recently aquired a 1998 or 1997 Marin Mount Vision, been lusting after one of these for years and found a frame I can work with.

I also came across a 'L' shaped disc mount adapter for the swinging arm, the one with MARIN machined into it and a Hope No 1 C2 caliper half.

So far so good.

Now I have all these bits together in the same room the problems arise.

The Rear swinging arm has no threaded bosses to accept the disc mount adapter. Not too much of a problem, I'm a resourceful chap, I can make some threaded inserts and install them and have them tig welded in place.

The disc mount adapter has two holes for mounting to the swinging arm, no problem, and two holes for accepting the Hope No 1 disc caliper, probelm. The hope No 1 disc caliper only has one threaded mounting point.

Anyone know how the caliper is supposed to fit to the 'L' shaped disc mount adapter?

If I can get this right the rest is childs play.

I know I could make my own mount etc but I was looking for a tad of originality.

Any help and advice gratefully recieved.

Regards
Edd

This was mine, 97 Mount Vision with a later disk compatible swing arm. Not sure if this is of any help?

Thanks for the photo REKIBorter, I'd love to get hold of a swinging arm like that but I fear they are in short supply.

I have the following parts, see photos, and just need to know exactly how the Hope No 1 caliper attaches to the Marin disc mount adapter. I can figure the rest out from there.

Last picture is of a swinging arm with the correct lugs for attaching the disc mount adapter, I will be copying this unless anyone has one they are willing to part with?

Any help or photo showing set up would be great.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Having recently acquired a DH Frs from 1998 I am desperate for one of those disc adapters.

Please please please if you want to sell it can you let me know. Ideally I would otherwise like to know the measurements.

My marin swingarm has big M10 or so size holes on the swingarm for that adpater to fit. Not sure how it works on the mount vision.

Might otherwise be worth sourcing a new frame, swapping the swingarm and selling the replacement frame with the disc rear?

Sorry cant be any real help

Here is another thread with someones home made adaptor - shows it in use:
