I want to add that I have used an aftermarket adapter for the rear(A2Z universal) and after properly installing, it has worked excellent without any problems this season, with the Disc brakes performing better than any brake i have used in the past. This adapter clamps over the rear dropout and holds in place with 4 small bolts + the skewer. I would guess that a basic epoxy metal which is rated for 4000 psi, will easily match/exceed the clamping force of that adapter clamp.
the mount you puctured is meant to be bolted to existing mounts in order to use a larger rotor on a fork that was designed for something smaller. it actually looks a lot like a ISO -> post mount adapter for a rock shox boxxer.
look, for this to work, you have to figure out the size of the rotor, and where you want the specific caliper you want to use to contact the rotor and then fabricate a mount that fits those dimensions, or find an aftermarket mount that'll work (not likely). Then you'll have to epoxy that to the fork and hope it won't pull away from the fork and land you in the ER.
a brake is a pretty vital part of a bicycle as far as your safety is concerned. do you really want to monkey around with that?
