Would an MTB flat mount caliper mate up with a BL-M785 lever? If so best place to buy said Shimano caliper?

Madison (uk distributor) are out of stock of all flat mount mtb calipers. SLX due in June, XT in December, no due date for XTR. They only do rears as well.

Yes - Shimano and Aztec do adaptors for PM callipers on FM mounts.

It's mad at the moment with regards parts. Picked up some flat mount Spyres, still trying to find some bolts to attach them to the frame!

Good luck with your search

Shigura may work? They do a flat mount caliper.
