Lets build a SOHC for less than a grand
Trigger:
Wheels are back together and have a old mudguard bracket as a template. It will have a old original mudguard on it but, I would have to have it off and on so many times to try and get this second pivot arm lined up and you can easy see what you are doing.
On this second pivot arm, do I need to pack the arm out at any of the mounting points ?

Only way to be certain is fit the front wheel andsee where the disc sits, swing bits need to be same place over disc and as parrallel as possible.
Hope that make sense.
First one i did was two 500 sliders one caliper in front one behind doing a cut n shut job on the fender bracket mounts, redid it with 550 forks and i dont think i used spacers on either but this was 75/6!!!

Trigger, Take a look at this site if you haven't seen it already. https://blacksquaremotorcycle.com/dual-disc-conversion/
He explains about mounting the second caliper with both the round and cut out hub designs.
Bryanj:
Thats a very interesting article, might be worth putting in tricks and tips.
I know the "oval" did carry over into the US 550 K series for a while as i bought a few from Dave Silver, 750 hubs also perhaps Trigger knows when they changed.
When i did it it was with 500 front wheels which were deffinately of the "oval" of "flanged" type so the discs were symetrical.

Interesting.
Google Kyril Dambuleff.
I will ask him if we can reference his work.
