Didnt realise there was much difference in the mounting brackets, I bought a newer model off here and the brackets looked very similar, the levers were totally diferent but the rest looked the same.

I had to file out where the boss fits but only a tiny bit, but i put that down to the alloy being squashed through over tightening though.

I see. the bosses are about 1.2mm dia bigger for U I plan ti fit Mags to my Trimble. Try again as they are really good brakes.
