Threaded holes PM
Plain holes IS

It will probably be PM front IS rear.

I bought deore brakes from Merlin.

It depends on your rotor size.

For front Suspension fork and a rotor of 160mm you can direct mount the caliper, no adaptor needed. For 180 rotors or higher you need a post to post mount adaptor 5.99 quid from CRC.

For the rear I used post to IS on my cotic solaris, again rotor size specific.

Does this help at all?

The frame is definitely IS mount and I have a strong suspicion that a Tora 302 is IS mount as well. On the fork, IS mounts are 2 plain holes that go sideways across the fork, post mount are 2 threaded holes where the bolts fit from the rear.
