Thanks for the update.

I've got a feeling that this may become an internet go to send someone to thread in the future when the question arises about putting disk brakes on something that doesn't have disk brakes or an easy purchase bolt on option. It is an excellent tutorial on how one can design his/her own bracket and then fit a rotor to an existing hub. Front axle/rear axle the basics still apply.

I just wish I had those cad design skills. That is something I haven't mastered.
