Brake Disc Disc
How do I fit a rear disc brake caliper to my Mountain Bike?
I am aware of an attachment that you can get to fit to the rear of your bike to allow you to attach a brake caliper for disc brakes. I think it just clamps on or something. My bike is a bit old and does not have mounting points.
Does anyone know where I can gut a mount from or who manufactures them?
Trying to adapt an older bike like yours to disc brakes will probably not work very well. The mounts for disc brakes have to be very precisely aligned for the brakes to work well. You would also have to buy new wheels, unless your current wheels have disc compatible hubs. A far better and cheaper solution would be to buy a really good set of v-brakes, they would work almost as well as a good disc brake setup which could not be achieved on your old bike.
