TwoBobRob:
Yeah,  an AD990 is a rear brake. End of. However,  they can be bodged onto the front perfectly well  ;)  The cable sits in the quick release side and you hold the cable with a knarp or nipple clamp as previously mentioned.  The FS990 is basically the same thing but has a cable holder/adjuster on one side and the nipple clamp on t'other.  Its likely that the 'universal fitting kit' will be a bolt on cable adjuster and a nipple clamp/knarp style thingie.

A tip for you;  altering the overall width of the arms by moving the blocks in or out, will alter the feel and braking pressure. Worth fiddling with.

Another tip; dont get the gold and silver springs mixed up, they are wound differently......  ;)
