If you could sort a bracket that utilises the RS disc that'll save any headaches
Looking about i think that will be the way forward.
A set of rs disks with 5mm universal spacers behind them and a set of slightly longer wheel studs should do the trick. Then it'll just be a case of fabricating a set of caliper hangers, which shouldn't be too much hassle
