I hear you. I've spent a lot of money with less to show for it. You're gonna end up with a nice piece (or three).

This one isn't mine but a similar rear disc swap.
With the vented rotors, the rotor outside diameter was a small bit too much from the manufacturer.
What was happening was that the rotor was slightly hitting the caliper pin.
His remedy was to take off ONLY enough material to keep it from hitting.
In the image below, you will see that he took off more material than was needed but leaving enough surface area to show full contact of the brake pads.

Just an FYI; but I thought it was worth sharing.
Maybe not all rotors have this problem.

Carrier reassembled.
Note now having the 30 spline Detroit Locker installed.
Next, to finish up caliper installation then I can go forward with installing this.
Axles forthcoming

General update...

Put together this 14 Bolt.
3:42 with an Eaton Posi installed.
Then I realized : DUH
Spring pad location and shock mounts need to modified in order to install it into a '72 and back application.

So... now I'm off to the welding shop to get a time to get this resolved then re-powdercoat the axle tubes after all is done.

I'm using this 14-Bolt for axle length comparisons prior to completing the HO72.

Slow building these days.
Here are the Hubs assembled and test fitted.
Rotors and studs next...
