Just got new brakes that fit in a conventional style while the shifter is ispec.

I can’t get to the shops for a while ,is there a bodge to make it fit?

Which ispec? I recently managed to bodge a m7000 shifter for an enduro at Innerleithen. Used 2 cable ties and an elastic band and it lasted! PM me your email if you'd like some photos.

Managed to fit it with the bracket off an old 7 speed shifter. Sits a bit too far inboard though.

Can someone point me to the proper mounting bracket?
