Rear Disc Conversion Plans

Has anyone machined themselves the necessary bits for a rear disc conversion?

I read the "how to" guide on here which described how to do it by cutting up some caliper carriers and other bits but it occurred to me I could probably actually make the necessary parts myself.

I have access to a lathe and a mill but wondered if anyone else had done this? If so, has anyone got a drawing for the parts that they'd mind sharing as this would significantly reduce the time it would take for me to make the bits!

Thanks

Anyone bought anything from rsmg.co.uk before? Is it good kit?

I've got the muddy zook kit which I'm happy with. Think its a bit cheaper too.

Was just looking at theirs too actually. If you reckon it's good I think I might be tempted to get a kit rather than try and fabricate one.

I think I have some drawings to make/machine your own somewhere, if I dig them out fancy making me a set or two as well

Might well do, it depends how quick you can find them as I need to get on with this!

I have a CNC mill so making ten sets is as easy as making one. The only problem is that it actually has a pretty small working envelope so not sure I'll actually be able to. On the other hand I have a friendly machinist so might speak to him...

That was quick!

I don't suppose you have one for the disc mounts do you?

No I haven't I'm afraid but you could just cut down your drums and use those like in the DIY guide
