Default F3 front wheel in F2?

I am trying to put an F3 front wheel into the F2 forks. I made some spacers and made sure everything fits without wobble or anything. Now i am trying to mount the brakes and the F3 rotors are a little bit bigger. Does anybody know of any conversion kits? Worse comes to worse I'll be making my own brackets but I figured if anybody knew of any at a reasonable price? Thanks

Why not finish the job and swap on an F3 front end? Better fork internals and better brakes.

I know that would be the right thing to do, but long story short I got this bike and am putting it back together. I am trying to save money while I do it and thats what I have to work with. If I need to I might go that direction, but funds are a big factor.

It won't work, the brakes are bigger I believe, and the F3 doesn't use a speedo hub on the front wheel so the spacing will probably be incorrect.

Sorry I didn't realize you already have the wheel, I thought you were asking if it will fit.
