Well, it took a little more than I thought, but I finally made it fit.  I had to relocate the mounting holes from the bracket to the spindle, so only 4 of the holes are used. This was because I had to move the caliper from the front of the spindle to the back, then it had to be raised to clear the steering. I also had to mill a slot to get it to fit flat against the spindle. Then the slot for the caliper had to be cut deeper and wider to eliminate the caliper hanging up on the bracket, and to move it closer to the spindle center line to get full pad contact. Other than that it fit like a glove :D

Looks great Frank.  Lots of work, but the end results are a quality part.

I finally have my brake modification finished.  Car goes to the muffler shop today.

Frank:

What is the purpose of the "tang" or "hump" on the spindle end of the bracket?

That was an attempt to use a dust shield I had on hand. It didn't work out.
