I just want to clarify on a few things before I dive into this rear disc brake conversion.

1st- I want to make sure that on the Eldorado calipers, the nub needs to be ground off, referring to the one in the picture with the arrow.

2nd- I noticed that the lever that bolts to the caliper is not a perfect fit on the hex part that locates the lever on the caliper, but I'm assuming that if I tighten the nut enough it will hold the lever tight?

3rd- Any recommendations on a quality caliper paint?

Thanks, Zach
