You should be able to use front Sami calipers & Rotors, Centre hole will need to be turned out on a lathe. A peice of 3/8" plate for yer caliper bracket welded to the axle tube or bolt it in where yer backing plate/axle bearing retainer bolts are(longer bolts). put rotor on with lug nuts to keep it square, place caliper on rotor and start measuring. make sure nothin's gonna rub. make sure capliper is inline with rotor (offset). you won't have a park brake anymore but this gives you a excuse to put one on the D-shaft. All fittings will be the same. solid rotor, cheap pads... can't loose. I have a set of rotor you can have. just need calipers.

I have a rear disc convertion on Lucy, Depot and I modified a set of sammy convertion plates and used kick calipers.

Use sami or track/kick calipers. Use either rotors as well. I used kick calipers for the LWB's rear disc. The track/kick bleeder is on the side of the caliper, pointing forward. Clock the caliper a bit for bleeding purposes and thats it.

FYI - sammy and kick rotors have a slightly different center bore size. I ferget which one is smaller. when u get ur drum machined, take in whichever rotors u want to use to make sure u have exact sizing. We ran into this problem with zookvets conversions. I think but am not sure that kick rotors have a smaller center bore than sammy's. Otherwise, they are identicle.

The kick rotor ( the one used as a template) would fit but the sammy one would not, therefore the sammy one is smaller. in the center over a kik.
They may be different but it is not by much

yeah, ur right, thats why we had to find a pair of kick rotors for zookvet... now I member! tx
