Mine were made by AG for Stevenbm's S1 project that he didn't use in the end.

I ran 330mm AP discs with FRS calipers and 16" wheels. Not a great idea though. Clearance depends on the specific shape of the wheel profile. My Team Dynamics wheels were VERY close and small pieces of grit could grind round inbetween the caliper and the wheel.

I tackled the brackets myself, carefully mocking them up with wood/metal/washers etc, then giving the mock up to a machiner and getting it CNC'd from Alloy.

rs7 spokes are the worst for fitting any sort of decent sized brakes behind them. i think tony(nutsrs) made a compbrake kit that was probably the largest to fit behind them.

would these not be a wise choice behind my 16" pro race 1.2's then christian?

You do know that you have to modify the Zoo brackets to make them fit.(Grind a bit off the edge otherwise it fouls the hub.Be arefull what wheels you fit,only comps are a straight fit otherwise you need spacers like i did.
Some pics.
