Quick notes/questions:
In post 63, you show 4 caliper plates painted, but the front axle was together already- what were the extra ones for?
Were your caliper plates flat or with an offset?
Did you reuse the dustsheilds on the backside?
Also, FYI was able to remove those big rings that hold the inner bearing race without removing the outer race first.

On the Dana 44 i reused the stock caliper mounts/dust shields.
The black caliper plates are for the rear disk conversion on the Eaton, you cannot reuse the drum backing plates. I did reuse the stock dust shields, they go on after the conversion plates are in place, just have to tap them on far enough not to touch the hub assy when its slid into place..
My conversion brackets are flat with an added spacer, if i had to do it allover again i'd consider trying these:
