Here is the right rear bracket.


You can see the additional threads I cut to be sure the rear inner nut doesn't bottom out.

Here's a comarrison of the studs. The top one is the one that came out of the front. The next one is the new longer stud and the bottom one is modified with more threads cut. The upper is a BWP M187( actually this one is a left hand thread that was removed and appears to have had threads cut in it also), the longer one is M-186. The M-187 fit the front without modification. The M-186 I'm using on the rear.


Drivers side mounted.


The second one went a lot faster.


Here's the bracket.


Back from Quartzsite and back to work on the 'project'. This is the first disc mounted, right front. The clearance to wheel is really,really tight. Not much more than 1/16". Lots of fit up to get everything right.


Might have been easier to remove the front cap but making sure everthing fit I thought it needed to go this way.

All fits but is really tight. Would make an OEM proud with the difficulty accessing this.


Mounted the hydroboost, master cylinder, remote reservoir.


This was a bit more complicated than I first thought. Of course!


An overview of the new brake parts that needed to be fabricated. A few more pieces on order, special hose and a few fittings and it should be ready for install.
