Now just to face off 4mm from the wheel and make myself a cutom calliper hanger
:)
Not a bad Sunday really
 
Thats a heck of a big difference! Does it have the same pad surface area as the stock disc?
 
Nice! - I look forward to seeing the finished product.
Now try powder coating that rear rim. That's what I did with mine.

No it's a lot smaller but I be using a new style twin piston calliper so I think braking will be increased
