That upper link, or A arm, looks interesting You sure that it will hold? Maybe a big ball-joimt would be stronger, cause there will be damage if or when it explodes

Nice built by the way, keep on posting

Great point. The upper link has a Johhny-joint (a ball joint) at the point above the differential. You can see it better in the post above. actually, all three points on the axle are the same johnny joint.

Right now, the upper is mocked up in small tubing; however, will be 1.5" 1/4 wall DOM if everything looks good for full articulation. The lower will be 1.75 DOM. I hope it will not explode; however, if it does, we will do version 2.0.

I have purchased the toyota FZ rotors and now need a source for drawings or purchased parts of the bracket to hold a caliper.

I have found several different pictures of these. Can anyone help me find these parts?

Is this how you adapt the hub to the disc with the use of shims?

There are multiple ways to do. Some people just machine the outer part of hub so that brake disk sits on it. This is not optimal but I haven't heard about broken bolts anyway. This additional plate you already linked looks like best option. Edit: Some kind of shims inside sounds like good compromise to me.

I did my disc conversion like this:
