    Those look like a nice design, and I like that you don't need to modify the hubs beyond pressing in longer studs. I don't love that the rotors are proprietary, though. Are the calipers proprietary as well, or are they an OE part for something? I've done one rear disc conversion thus far, using Epytec-style brackets to fit T4 rear brakes (base 15" wheel model) and they perform very well in driving, just okay as parking brakes. They also required turning down the hubs. I have access to a machine shop at my MakerspaceCT (Hartford) so that was zero cost added, just time. I'll be doing another rear disc conversion at some point, and I'm not sure which to use at this point. My dream would be an option that uses existing OE parts for popular models for best future parts availability, doesn't require hub machining, and has integrated drum-style parking shoes inside the rotor hat. I've wondered if something exists in the realm of vehicles with the super-common 5x114.3 PCD, as such rotors should be able to fit over 5x112 studs with minimal, if any, enlarging of the holes. A friend is junking a circa 1999 Ford Explorer worth investigating as a brake parts donor if I can get to it to tinker before it goes away.

    Thanks for taking us along! Nice to see the upgrade! It may be superstition, but I wonder if the slow vacuum bleed gets all the air bubbles out? I usually follow it up with a few cycles of pump and hold the pedal while someone opens the bleeder to let a jet of fluid out.

    Looks like your rear brake shoes were not adjusted correctly giving you poor rear braking. Mine were similar until I installed new drums, shoes and cylinders. Works much better. Still plan on installing the Burley big brakes in the front.

    The stock gauges are recessed to minimize reflections, which can be very distracting. I like the setup and will eventually convert to that, but I wish to keep the recessed feature of the stock gauges, so I will have to 3D print something for that. Also, the new gauges will have a lot of reflections in the windows at night if not recessed. For some of us easily distracted types, that is an issue. Just saying.....
