So, got my front rotors back from the machinist Turned the center out for the front hub and drilled the new 5X5.5 bolt pattern in.
Then after my third attempt, I finally got a bracket I liked for the front brake caliper.
These calipers are in two pieces. The bracket that holds the pads shown above and
the caliper itself. This is the way all the new stuff is going for better performing brakes. Those WJ brakes have about twice the stopping power of stock XJ brakes and about 50% more than the Scout II brakes, even though those were standard 1/2 ton pickup brakes of the day
