I had my local cnc machine shop Build a set of backing plate mounts to run the 01+ disk setup on my ‘89 V30 14 bolt. They were rough cut on a water jet out of 1/2” plate then finished on the CNC. They are pure beef and set me back about $250. I already had the 01+ axle to rob brake parts from. It may have been easier to re perch the 01+ axle but I didn’t want to go that route as I have a matched set D60/14 bolt from the same square body 1 ton that I’m building for my 72 K20. The old style hubs that capture the drum behind the hub have to be machined slightly to center the rotor on the hub as well.
I’ve been peeking in on this thread a bit but wasn’t really sure my setup would help much with the semi floating axle.
