well today was mostly productive. Worked on converting the large 4 piston / 5 lug braking system to a 4 piston / 4 lug braking system.

My machinist guy in WA burned these out for me from some Al. You have to space the rotor off the hub to make this whole thing work. The spare 3rd spacer i used in conjunction with a spare 4 lug hub i modified to mark up the 5 lug rotors to redrill them.

thankfully i have this 250lb monolith of a bench drill press from 1947.

The first rotor went on nicely. Somehow i was like 1mm off on the second one so ill probably just drill the holes larger since it centers to the hub anyway.

Before I assemble the brakes i want have the rotors turned.
