Drum to Disc Swap Caliper Adapters Now Available!

This was posted over on FTE as an FYI:

I orderd a set of anodized caliper adapters and read quickly through the instructions. It seems straight forward with the following notes:
  1. Take the hubs to a machinist and have the hub flange turned down to fit inside the rotor with 0.010 clearance. This centers the rotor to the hub.
  2. Lug studs need to be pressed out and replaced with studs 0.25" longer than stock.
  3. The rotor must sit flush to the hub face. The back of the lug holes may need to be countersunk.
Here is the parts list for your info:
