Chris -

I'm assuming we're talking these:

If so they should definitely have come with your new frame - if it was a new one from factor / supplier - get it back to them  and get a replacement one with the brackets.... if not - as Nick suggests "fun" will ensue......

 

You can get adjustable brackets for a finessed set up that MAY do the trick - but if you've alignment issues as is then pain and angst to follow! :-(

Sadly it was second hand and no brackets these adjustable ones can you position the holes and adjust from there? Thanks

otherwise its lots of filing / fettling - if you're lucky!!!

 

(Don't suppose it'd be worth chasing down whoever you bought the frame from to see if they've still got the originals?????)

Here's hoping - those brackets are for a generic "fit" - i.e not specified for gen / non gen frames so with a bit of luck will have enough tolerance to sort you out - with the added bonus of adjustability for decent alignment - some non oe frames even when supplied with bracketry give shocking alignment........ all fixable but a pain nonetheless....

 

Just a potential note of caution - others have reported problems with adjustables from some suppliers necessitating from memory - welding them up when aligned perfectly I've never had issue with anything from minispares though...

 

For ref - all rover frames even to the end of production were stamped "MOWOG" so easily determined (not sure about heritage ones though....)
