Fitting disk brakes to a frame without tabs

[Jonah]

I am currently moving all the components from a Kudos Tornado (frame damaged off-roading) to a old Mongoose NX 8.3 full suspension frame. I'm sure there will be a few problems on the way, but initially I need to resolve the disk brake issue. I have read about the A2Z Universal Disk Mount so thought I'd give this a go. Has anyone else done something like this or have any other suggestions.

No
But having just looked at the a2z device looks like a reasonable idea
Ive used there products in the past and there good just never used that one your intrested in
Personally i would give it ago unless anyone comes up with a better idea

I put one of the a2z disc mount adapter on a bike a couple of years back but had to take it out after I found that it slipped a little after a few days.
The thing is a box and works a bit like a glove. It would be better if it had been made it a bit bigger with tabs that you can drill and bolt to the frame.
In my view, it's not something that a non-mechanic can use safely.

Well, the rebuild is complete. A couple of test runs so far have been successful. The adaptor is working ok for now.
