I will try a stock rim today but only have a steel one if I get the new plates as have everything else ready to go. Might see if a can borrow my Dads spare as he still has the stock Limited wheels on his XJ. It they clear than everything else will fit fine.
I must say it went so quick I surprised myself. Took longer the clean and paint the knuckle afterwards than to cut off the old caliper supports.
Dont think so as too much mucking around with the different handbrake cables between all the models. Easy enough to provide the adapters and bearing space rings and you could even source your own stock Ford caliper mounts and calipers from there I guess but you would need to modify your own handbrake cables. Easy enough as I found that using stock Ford ones and then having a new ends flanged on at a place that sells gym equipment works the best. I be doing that tomorrow for Danxj tomorrow as making up some new cables to go with my old rear disc conversion I sold to him for the D35.
I also found a new way of doing the D44 conversion that does not even require the pressing off of the old bearings. I will do write up on it when I get back from Africa at the end of August at the earliest.

This has gone together to incredibly well. Everything just fitted like a glove so pretty stoked right now.
The only thing I have found, and thought might be the case, is that a stock 15" rim, either steel or alloy, does not go on quite all the way. There is about a 1/2" gap from mounting hard against the rotor which means that anyone with less back spacing then 4.75" ( stock is 5.25" ) will clear. Looks like the first batch at least will all be fully polished calipers anyway and they have been linished first and that does skim off a mm or two so will wait with completing my setup until after I get a pair tomorrow to try for all those with stock rims. Be easy to make them fit as is only a few mm at the edge of the caliper that is stopping it even if this is not enough.
