Magura MT5 front brakes on DNM USD-8 Fork

[Mick48]

I have a question for anyone out there. I am currently running a DNM USD-8 fork with Shimano XTR Trail 9020 fronts and Shimano adaptor. Wanted to convert to Magura MT 5 fronts but am in need for a suitable front adaptor. Found a few Magura front adaptors that dont fit. Shimano does fit but does not accompany the Magura brakes. As you can see, the bolt spacing on the Shimano adaptor is very close together. Any suggestions as to a pre-adaptor spacer out there?(I will post pics as soon as I downsize the images......)

Mick,
I have that setup with 203mm discs:

Here is a pic:

I think those adapters came with the fork, didn't they?

Elias:

Thank you kindly for answering my concern. I tried all of the Magura adaptors and none of them worked, including the QM 26!
I took a look at your page(beautiful bike and build BTW), and it looks like you are indeed running the MT5's. But which front adaptor
did you use? Is it a Shimano or a Magura? Can I use my Shimano adaptor?

Well, as I said, I think those adapters were included with the DNM fork.
Have a look in their manual:

on page four is a drawing were you can see those adapters.
Where did you buy your DNM?

I bought a magura 203mm adaptor, but I just needed the shimano 203mm one when I switched from shimano to magura mt5 front brakes.
Actually, the magura one didn't even fit. Only the shimano adapter I was using before did.

Ok I will try the Shimano one. It looks pretty close to the one I have, but it is a little different
