Another Manitou Dorado related question

Ok. Maybe I'm just dumb but I cant seem to install my front brake onto my dorado. I have a DT swiss hub and hope m4 system 3 disc brakes. When I put the mount for the caliper onto the fork with the longer side facing up, the caliper is too far away from the rotor. When I try to turn over the mount, so it looks like the picture, the mount hits the rotor. Are there hubs that put the rotor too close to the fork leg? Help!!!
Thanks

I assume when you say system 3 you meant m4 caliper number 3, right?
First, you need to install the manitou post style brake adapter on the dorado (shld be included in your fork when purchased as new). This enables you to run the M4 #3 on a 205mm rotor setup which requires an adapter sold by Hope. Call Hope and tell them what you have and they can sell you that required adapter. Your standard 20mm hub is not the problem.

Ps
I run an M4 #3 caliper with 205mm rotors on my Dorado as well.
