More progress .
Sand blasted calipers and removed pistons. Changing seals, dust boots and slider boots. And painting them red with a PBR sticker on them . Like this Sand blasted VS old Pistons removed Test fitted on upright Rotors will sit close to upright which is good Calipers MACHINED HUBS - looks like a brought one lol

Thanks benj . I'm half way there , got rotor basically mounted .
I can even take 8mm off the hub face to compensate for rotor thickness . But I cant see 8mm being much . Guards may have to be rolled at the most . If I take 8mm off then I can use the el studs . If not I have to find 10mm longer studs . Wasn't expecting the hub to turn out like that . It looks good . After a good sandblasting and coat of black paint youd never be able to tell they were from a rotor .

The AU rotor WILL be too close to the upright. 21.5mm too close IMHO.

coming along nice mate.
a few question how easy are these going to be to get passed to be legal. and what is the cost so far?

No idea about legalities .not sure whether to tell them that I machined the hub from a rotor or tell them the rotor was made from scratch . I can't see the hub failing .
Cost so far Calipers $40 Uprights donated Machining free cant see it being over $200 Future costs Rotors $200 Pads $60 Brake lines $100 I have a feeling that getting it engineered will cost more than the kit it self , not worth it then .

Haha postage would be more than the slab lol.
AU series 1 is similar to e series brakes , you'll have to change the uprights to AU2 as they have the holes for the twin piston caliper . AU2 brakes and TE50 brakes are the same . Except TE run a bigger rotor .
