You might wanna change the mc also! There is a big difference. Although its not necessary.

If you have to fit those calipers to the later USD forks there's a bit of grinding required to the caliper/fork bottom to get them to match
and
if you fit the mastercylinder as well...a place to mount it would be a small bracket and tap a thread into the end of the clip-on mount on the top yolk.
With the bike on full lock you can get a drill in from the other side no probs. The hole only needs to be 5/16ths deep...just enough to take a 6mm thread and hold the bracket
