Hoping someone can help me here! i`ve bought a Marin mount vision frame (2001), but unfortunately it came without a mech hanger, after a lot of searching i managed to get a hanger to fit, but i don`t know how it fixes to the frame having never seen the original one fitted! is there meant to be a backing plate or something on the inside face of the drop-out to screw the 3 bolts into? as neither the hanger nor the frame are threaded! any advice, info or photos would be greatly appreciated

Re:
Does the part of hanger with the 3 holes fit into slot in swing arm?
If so, it should be the same as the earlier frames I have, which have a sort of semi-circular/crescent shaped backing plate on inside of drop out with threaded holes for the bolts.

Yeah that`s it! I bought the frame without the hanger on, i`ve managed to get a hanger, but locating a backing plate and the correct size bolts has proven impossible so far!
I`ve sent a few e-mails to Marin about it but they still haven`t got back to me (been a couple of weeks now) I was hoping someone on here would have some kind of idea where to buy them from? I`m thinking i might have to have a backing plate made to fit, and then alter the frame to take larger headed bolts, as the only bolts i can find look like the countersunk head will be way to big to sit flush in the outer face of the frame.
Would be handy if i could find someone with a knackered frame, willing to sell the plate and 3 bolts.
Thanks for the reply by the way!

Thanks Doug, sorry for the delay in replying, been away. Got the backing plate sorted, made a template and got one made to fit, works spot on only thing i`m stuck on now is a rear brake mount to fit disc brakes to her, proving harder to find than the backing plate unfortunately

Re:
You mean one like this?
For this type of swing-arm with it fitted.
Big eck, one of my fellow MacRetroBikers made this one
I'm in the process of trying to make one but stalled at the moment as I don't want the caliper (a Shimano post mount) to be hanging off the back like on the Marin one.
The inserts needed for swing-arm mounting holes (instead of using big bolts that Marin adapter uses) are the same thread as rim/v-brake studs, just cut off the v-brake mount part so it is flush with mount on swing-arm and then mount the adapter with the v-brake fixing type bolts as there is an internal thread. Although on the studs I have that thread doesn't go all the way through so will have to run tap through them.

Don't understand Marin's thinking on this, why still be different when everyone else were using IS by this time.
