Ha Ha No problem!
Yeah that's the goal. This should be the closest thing to a kit so far. and when all is said and done, I'll make a recap of the whole swap.

Sorry it's been a while, I've been trying to juggle a bunch of things at once, between this, having the driveline redone, planning out a straight axle rack and pinion set up, and then all this FRIGGIN SNOW.
I brought the original backing plate to school to measure out the hole pattern for the spindle. Got this far. Now I'll take this template and finishing measuring the caliper side of the bracket.
