Default F4 forks and triple tree

I have a wreaked F3 I am looking for parts for I found a complete F4 fork setup (includes forks, triples, steering stem, axle and spacers). I know i can bolt them to the steering stem with the correct bearings. My question is will my F3 brakes bolt up to the F4 forks? I can use an F3 rim and axle or the F4 (I don't think this will work).

The guy is asking $60 for the setup and I have the capability of make minor spacers if needed I may just get them to try. If not I could probably sell them and get my money back. Thoughts?

Anyone know??

Thanks

Calipers will not bolt up without making brackets

That is what I have found through my research. I wonder how complicated the brackets would be??

Very.

You'd have to have a blank done with wood first,then cut out of metal.But once you do this,you may be able to sell them on the market,getting your money back and then some.

I have a F4 front I put on my F2 and when I fitted them I tried my F2 and F3 callipers on the F4 forks and neither of them fitted so I got some F4 callipers and in my opinion it was the best mod I ever did to my bike, the breaking is sooo much better.
