First problem How can I get around this if possible.
Bike had spyre mechanical brakes I'm wanting to install shimano hydraulic, I've removed spyre and tried to fit the hydraulic but where it bolts onto the forks is a different shape to original spyre brake so won't fit hope it makes sense have a look at pics I'm hoping there is some sort of adapter to get around this any help appreciated.

spyre caliper is flat mount (and I assume your fork is, too) and the shimano caliper is post mount. you need one of these.

hell if I know. I don't know what rotor size you're trying to use. that link doesn't give any of that information, either. maybe you should contact that retailer.
