I have the strong feeling that this is a really moronic question, but I am gonna ask it anyway. Is it possible to mount the disk brake caliper on the bracket for the coaster brake arm?

Yes, I do.
I guess I wasn't very clear. I am curious if I could bolt the caliper to the bracket on the frame where usually the coaster brake arm is attached. After a close inspection however.
My question is can I use that bracket and eliminate the need for an adapter? Now that I look at it again I think it could only work with a really huge disk - 200 or 220mm if there is such a thing.
This is all purely hypothetical, I don't have a rear wheel with a disk brake, but since I plan on switching from 3 speed to 7 speed in the unforeseeble future I would like to hear what You guys have to say.

While technically, yeh.
But the caliper would ride at may be a little too horizontal.
