Default 993 brakes on a C1 Carrera?

I just picked up a full set of 993 brakes; calipers, rotors, pads and lines from our favorite "while your in there" guy, Richard LeSchander.
I did a search on PP and came up with umpteen gozillion (alot) threads on brake upgrades. I'm trying to get info on what it's going to take to get these things on my car. I'm pretty sure I can't use the rotors because of the offset. I may be able to put the lines in a bender to get them to work. I will be using 17" wheels so I know they'll fit.

1) Who can make me some brackets for the calipers?
2) Do I need a 23mm MC with this setup?
3) Will this work at all!!??

A point in the right direction would help a ton.

Thanks in advance,

Bill knows more than those who make the kits.

Jim,
I'm doing the upgrade so I won't displace my Porsche hood crest with an aubergine early car as a hood ornament at the end of the front straight at SP.
