how to install Brodie fork brace for RS Mag21???

[RockiMtn]

does anyone know how to properly mount a brodie fork brace onto a mag21? i can't for the life of me figure how this is supposed to work given there's no hole for the brake spring to be inserted into. also the stock brake post studs look to be too long. am i missing some hardware to make up that gap and also provide the hole??? :?

Re:

There should be circular washer with a single hole for the brake spring and an off-centre hole for the pivot stud.

so basically it's something like if i cut off the raised part on the original brace?

Like this (although I believe the one that came with the brace only has one spring hole instead of 3):

any chance you have them and you can measure the thickness for me? prob easier for me to get them made as opposed to finding them. :?

You can find them on many titanium frames, Fat Chance frames have them as well. I don't have anything handy though to measure from.

At the Paragon Machine Works site they call it a brake ring. I've also seen it called a spring retainer plate.
