Dug through the brake part bin for a couple of brackets, longer 5mm bolts, nd a pile of V Brake washers. After a bit of trial and error to see how it would all fit together. Had a general idea. First proble was the upper bracket would interfere with the disc. Easy to solve by sticking the bracket in the vice. Then carefully hacksawing off the bit that was interfering. Then of course it had to be filed down to remove any sharp edges.
Remounted everything. Went together no problem. Well, it seems so initially until I spun the wheel and was met with the sound of the disc rubbing against the caliper. After a closer inspection I found out that the upper part- camera left was the problem. A swap out of the thin washer for the thicker one solved the problem.
And after work went for a post work spin. And it worked perfectly.
