Thanks!
I completed my rear disc conversion, and I’m pretty happy with the results. There’s one thing I want to redo, move the brackets that got relocated on the middle bar of the H.
I took this pic to see how close 15” wheels gets to the caliper. Although it looks really close in the pic, I think 14” wheels will still work, but not guaranteed until I find one to test fit. Or maybe a little grinding on the caliper would help make some room. Ignore that fact that my wheels are dirty…

Don't grind the caliper, you can induce hair line cracking, mine sit that close as well and its fine.

Not me, sh0rtlife wants to do a rear disc conversion as well, but wants to retain his 14 inch wheels. I said I think might still work with14's, but may or may not require grinding the calipers just a tad. He's retaining the smaller rotor size up front.
Would you try and acquire a 14" wheel and see if it'd fit in the rear?

No way its fitting on mine, I have about 2mm spare between the rim and caliper, I will take some pics to show it.

Try taking a picture from the inside.

Dormant, but not dead…

Thanks to Enviri, I think I finally found the front hub that I’ve been looking for!
