I'm not saying I'm not going to persue it, it just may take a little time to get it to a final design. I checked with Summit, and these are on back order until the 23rd at the eaeliest.
I looked at doing that but the widest rotor the ones I found could use was 0.81" so it didn't work out. Maybe they have another I couldn't locate on their web site. It is possible they could be modified with a machined spacer to make them work with the 1-1/4" thick rotors.

They do have a hydro-mechanical parking brake caliper now though that can work with a 1" rotor.
