I think I've settled on the brakes, Wilwood has some small light calipers that are for single seat formula type cars. I think the rotor I was looking at is 12" x .350" or .380" thick and there is a brake hat that fits to a Chevy hub. That'll blow the wallet up, but I think it'll be more robust than the motorcycle brakes I was thinking of.
Does this seem like a reasonable way to mount the lug style caliper to my upright? It's basically an angle with 4 holes in it. This design also allow the same upright and caliper bracket to work on left and right sides. Do clearances seem reasonable? Top view shows about 1/8" from bracket thread boss to rotor and about 1/8 from the rotor bolts to the bracket outer face.
Clearances are adequate if the hardware is correct. There should be a washer under the head and allow for safetywire bolt height in case you want to go that route instead of just red loctite. Brackets look good to me imho.
