My brake conversion is coming along!

Huge thanks to Sean Skinner at Motorelic (Hooked me up with a spare spacer), Chuck Quenzler, my awesome neighbor Dave who helped with machining, my Dad who also helped me machine the spacer with a brake lathe, and Eric Zanutto for advice.
The spacer that was supplied wasn't quite right so i had to make some adjustments to make it fit precisely.
More pictures to come!

First picture is my neighbor Dave using his lathe to turn down the I.D a tad...
Second picture is the thickness being turned down to 13mm on a good 'ol Ammco brake lathe!

Nice work!  What caliper are you going to use?

Thanks! I didn't want the bolts centering it, so the spacer I tried to make wouldn't work very well so I went with hub centric one instead. A huge thanks to you as well for getting me started on the project!

Thank you! I'll use the r6 "blue dot" calipers.

No secret. I just saved the pic to my desk top & rotated it with the curved arrow icon at the top. You might have to select save after rotating to desired direction.
