so I've got a hope number 8 caliper M4 the older silver style with the pro lever. My buddy has a 40 on his bike and wants to buy my brakes. Is there any way to adapt this brake to that fork? I'm pretty sure there's not but it's worth asking.

The 40 takes a #5 Hope caliper to run a 205mm rotor which is a XC size (normally it would be equivalent to a 165mm front rotor). I believe Hope still makes 225mm rotors that will work on the 40. Call Hope to see if they still exist. 1-800-303-6863

I have a 220-ish hope rotor from a similar set-up (05 dorado) just sitting here. If you can use it, it is yours.
