Thank you! It was all worth it. I had a great time doing it and will have a great time working on the next project. It will be even more exciting when I start to see them on others cars!!! Thanks to everyone that followed this long post. I had so many delays with this conversion, I didn't think I would ever get done. THANKS AGAIN!!!!

And yes, I now have about 5600 miles on the setup. Brakes work great. No ABS lights, no lock up issues. emergency brake works as planned. I'm REALLY, REALLY, happy with them.

As anything in the aftermarket industry they are off road use only, for liability reasons.

Here are some more pictures of some more parts that showed up today.

New clevis, clevis pin, and cable end mount mounted:



Clevis' freshly nickel plated to prevent rusting:

And cable stops also nickel plated:

And the e-brake cable tabs that are no longer available in the US or Japan I had laser cut and nickel plated:

Black anodized caliper brackets and cable end mounts:


Hope you enjoy the pictures!

Man, looks nice... Too bad you can't get high enough demand to mass fab to lower the price...

Can't get myself to fork out $800 for rear discs... =(

Thanks! I wasn't sure what to do about the steel parts. So I talked to a few platers and they said the electroless nickel would be the best rust preventative, so opted to go that route. It was a little more than I expected, but...... it's worth it. I'm thinking about taking mine off, so I can put all the cool stuff on! Never know, may be a used kit up pretty soon.

Damn, that is looking great! Are you only doing a run of these once or more if demand continues?

I just finished the first run, but have made enough machined components to build 20 conversions. That was the biggest part. Now when I sell a conversion it should only take about 5-7 days before it could ship. And that would just be waiting on the calipers and rotors to show up, and time to modify them. Everything else is DONE!!!
