Hi,
I bought a set of Hope Tech 3 E4 brakes along with the adapter for my SLX M7000 I-Spec II shifter.
Hope supplied the HSP385RH adapter that apparently works for ISpec-II.
It doesn’t. It looks like it would work with the m8000 as I has a direct mount connecting the I-spec II mount to the body:
Seems like there’s no option for my M7000 I-spec II 🙁
Edit sorry I'm stupid it's a top mount, it's clearly visible
Edit 2 you need a different part. You replace the entire back section of the clamp. CHeck this PDF
There isn’t a mount bolt as such - The mount goes inside the lever band. It’s a bit easier to see on this image
I think the entire silver part comes off

You'll need to swap the silver bit for i-spec b version to attach to tech3 lever, the adapter is for XT or XTR i-spec 2 or ev, aka M8000 or M8100, M9000 or M9100.
Try sjscycles, make sure you get the right speed.
There was a time when a top cover had the same shape so would fit slx, xt, saint and xtr, those days are long gone.
i think endomick gets the prize..
all i could think was that SLX shifter has never seen ispec II, totally different to the XT XTR 11/12 speed shifters I've had..
correct tech 3 lever PDF
I've just remembered, I have an i-spec b XT M8000 shifter new, unused with optislick cable but no box, £20 including post if interested.
Or a used but excellent condition i-spec 2, missing the shimano mount but with the Hope adapter instead.
