L-twoo hydraulic calipers with 180mm rotors at the front?

The adapter that you Jonathan shared seems to *only* be rear? I should be able to get a 180mm adapter and put it on front and a 160mm adapter and put it on back to accommodate those 4-piston post mount mtb calipers, yeah?

I think I found a 180mm adapter a la Peak Torque. I'm about to order a bunch.

Oi, do share! I had the adapter listed above with a set of 4-piston post mounts in my cart and canceled them because the spcycle store told me they only offer the 180mm flat-to-post adapter for rear.

It's this i'm eyeing. https://www.lewisbike.com/lewis-fm-f-adapter.html
The issue is that i dont understand how it works. I've just emailed them to explain to me. So many holes, i dont see which ones have threads, not sure what threads where. I do know my fork is flat mount with 70mm between the holes in the fork, but beyond that...

I've been curious about this because there are a fuck ton of options out there like this - suppose that as long as they sit well as a +20mm spacer between the L-Twoo adapter and the frame, it's all gravy?

I think it's going to work.
Current setup on fork is ltwoo 160mm (using ltwoo hardware from the box).
the adaptor says 160 to 180mm.
Using longer screws, the adaptor goes between the fork and the existing setup as pictured above.
None of the holes in the adaptor are threaded, so it's really just a spacer, someone courageous enough might just put shims really...
So, the current setup is threaded into the fork at 70mm interval. I'll add the adaptor, using longer screws. And voila. In theory.
On the picture here, the 34mm spaced holes will not be used. I guess that's to screw on a shimano FM caliper, at which point i think you have a 160mm setup, not 180. Anyway, i dont run shimano.
That sounds simple, but it took me over a year to find that stuff at a reasonable price (12 usd + shipping). It should cost 4 bucks, but hey ho.
