Brake caliper mounting mods

I'm trying to figure out how to remount my original front calipers on my Caldina to sell it.
Problem is that the steering knuckles have been modified to fit the larger ones by changing the mounting holes (full details of this are in the "Brake Upgrade" thread in my signature.
Anyone got any suggestions on how to possibly reverse this?

1. Have old calipers tapped out to the larger thread size of the ST205 calipers.
2. Bolt on your old discs.
3. Bolt on your old calipers.
4. Sit down and have a beer.
5. Sell Toobs your DBA slotteds.

Yeah thought about that one (except for part 4  )
Just worried though that the thread on the steering knuckle mightn't match up with the thread on the caliper causing them to sit slightly apart.
Sorry dude, but I've pretty much sold the whole package: calipers, discs, rims.

Oops, let try part 5 instead, part 4 was definitely in the plan.
you need to insert a step 4a: repeat step 4 several times
Might want to bleed the brakes too

Thats all good.
DBA slotted's aren't very expensive and I've got the rest of the bits.
No harm in trying
