Got the bracket made for the other side so all i have to do is put that side together and plumb it all in and should be pretty much good to go!!..So glad that that part is almost over. Had to make like five brackets before i got it just right. I should mention to that in the last picture i welded nuts(not welded in that pic) on the back of the bracket to hold the caliper bracket. Anyone see something i missed?...Ive never done this before so if you see something..speak up!!!

you get a new proportioning valve yet? youll need a disc to disc one now. i would consider making another bracket to put on the inside part of the caliber with some spacers inbetween. for more strength. but im not sure how strong the brack et is now.

that bracket is actually alot thicker thatn it looks 1/4 inch steel. And being that its just under 2 inches wide i really dont think its gonna bend. The proportioning valve i had though about, but im putting in an aftermarket master cylinder so im not sure how everting is gonna react yeh. But an adjustable one is like 25 bucks and can always plumb it in later...we shall see.

i decided today that im gonna put two calipers on each side on the rear. One for normal brakeing and the other to be on a separate system for the hydraulic hand brake. Opinions?

Thats looking good definitly do up another bracket. Got a idea for you and others if you want disk rear brakes and an easy one go out find a nissan pathfinder and take the rear end I got mine out of a 94 nissan pathfinder and it is actually a perfect fit and it is 2 inches shorter than stock so helps with tucking tires but I know with tthis build tucking isnt the idea its drifting it.

You have to have at least the main leaf in to hold the axle in place unless you do a 4 link setup. Thats what my plans are. I just basically have the mono leaf setup right now

Actually i like that idea...then i can run a wheel with more dish...not needed for drifting but it looks cool as hell
