Nice job Pete! Im curious, though, on your method of grinding down the slave cylinder to match the dome :). Thanks!

Oh god my God My method was to just sit on the top and trace for the whole then sit it down in the whole and take a sharpie and mark the caliper. You cant just cut it strait and it is a pain with no proper tools. I am still working on getting it perfect before i show anymore pictures. I would never do it again. Best regards Pete K

Best of luck then! :). I was thinking that the caliper's angle might be corrected with the use of washers whilst bolting it on. Might be hard to get perfect but it doesn't sound impossible if you can grind/cut a washer to the proper wedge shape and thickness.

Of course I'm just spitballing the idea though :).
