Here ya go. I designed the bracket as a two piece deal so that if down the road you decide to put a different caliper on it you hopefully don't need to redo the whole thing. Also the two parts of the bracket are currently being held together with m8 bolts. They are holding but i have been meaning to get something bigger in there... or just weld it.
The alignment needs a little work but its not bad. Im using standard volvo 240 rear rotors. |

I find this picture terrifying. Those may be giant strong studs, but there is only like an 1/8th of an inch of material around them on that axle, and the old stud holes with the little grooves around the edge are pretty much perfectly pre-made crack-starters. There is WAY more meat holding the wheels on a bicycle. Don't want to be a buzz-kill, just had to say it. |

Have you seen what 4x108 VWAG hubs look like?
The old stud holes are a little concerning, but VWMS hubs were severely scalloped, so probably not so much a big deal. It's probably still stronger than the wheel that attaches to it. Pete Remner Cleveland, Ohio 1984 RX-7 (rallycross thing) 1978 Silence is golden, but duct tape is silver. |

so here is how this panned out for me. Slightly modified and rearranged disc brake mounts for the front calipers of a toyota pickup circa 1984. rotor hat modified to fit my axle I already had machined to a Saab rotor (thanks JVL!), and a 300mm non-vented rotor for said hat!
