Hasn't been asked but yes abs will still work as normal .
I figured out a way to stop the bracket moving . Drill and tap M10 right through the upright and bracket , that way the bracket has 2 bolts holding it down , and so does the caliper anchor bracket

But if I use some washers with grooves cut in them it should hold them firm on the upright It will work well i guess im not a fan of using 2nd hand parts especially on brakes... Have you thought of using the caliper of the territory??? i believe they are twin piston caliper...

didn't bother trying to add another bolt on the lower part of the bracket, there wasn't enough room on the bracket. just have to see how they go.
ive purchased ball joints upper and lower, both sides $67 ferodo TQ AU2 pads $65 3" wheel studs $36 hub rings $31 now waiting for them to get here.

I got ball joint, pads, wheel bearings and studs today .
Problem is the studs are 0.30 mm too big and won't fit in the hub, they also don't have the part which isnt knurled so it's hard to get them in square , Hopefully they have some studs which are 10mm longer and fit . Anyone know of any studs

got the hub rings made, the rotor is now a tight fit over the hub and doesn't move up and down at all.

Cleaned up the brackets , didn't bother taking off all the mill scale as they will be getting painted , should I use caliper paint or just general spray paint ? ?

Cheers bry ,
The caliper brackets didn't turn out well ,the mill scale f**k with the paint , So had so use a flapper disc to remove paint back to bare metal then painted again , No issues now ,   Not long now till there on , just need ball joints pressed out then I can paint the uprights . Then get new seals for the calipers .
