Adapter for Avid BB7 Flat Mount fork?

I'm putting a new fork on my bike, and I'd like to keep the same front brake, if possible. It's an Avid BB7, with a 160 mm rotor. The new fork is flat mount, and the old fork is...I'm not sure...it kinda has its own adapter built into it, with another adapter involved as well.

To give you a better idea, here's a picture of the current fork and brake:



And here's the new fork:


Any-a y'all know what specific adapter I need?

If an Avid BB7 won't work at all, I'd like to use a TRP Spyre. Would I need an adapter for that, and if so, which?

What brake levers are you going to use?

Your BB7 MTN is a long pull brake, the TRP Spyre is a short pull brake.
