I got the frame spread today so just chucked a wheel in it and offered up a caliper and the mount and stuff.
Took a while but got there in the end.
Mount I'm using is one of these,
Can't go inside the rear triangle because the track end and looptail design mean the caliper would be miles away from the axle and too low down so decided to put it ontop of the chainstay but the mount is a pain in the ass to work with because you can just rotate the mount and caliper around to find a good fit, you have to keep the slots in the mount parallel with the track end.
Ended up cutting the mount into two pieces which gave me a bit more flexibility. Will tack it tomorrow and check it's going to work.
