Update
We just finished the final production version of the brackets for the monster CP5810 calipers. It took 7 revs of the drawing and machining of only one prototype - the 2nd part is the final and it fits perfectly! It takes a lot to squeeze these calipers into place, but it appears our final part has positioned the caliper radially and laterally perfectly onto the rotor.
In this pic you can see how close the inner radius of the pad comes to the hat - this is perfect because the huge pads will swipe almost the full surface of the rotor;
As you can see in the pics the lines are not installed yet so I have not tested the brakes, but if everything works according to plan the next step is to put the same setup on the rear of the car

Holy cow that looks awesome Everett. Serious hardware!
The Beast can run a 36mm pad used for enduros. How thick of a pad can those calipers accommodate, they look meaty?
Now that you will be able to stop better, you do realize you're going to need more HP again right?

These calipers can take up to 28.5 mm pads (1.12" in NASCAR lingo), but they are designed to take up to a 1.4" inch thick rotor, which uses up some of the caliper real estate (which I guess means I could fit about a 30 or 31mm pad when using the 1.25" thick rotors).
