Twin disc caliper modification?

Neat job Andy.
Any thoughts on how to insert the olive into its new location?
Cheers,

Not 100% sure at the moment?
Need to put a couple or so more threads in the hole first to be sure the brake pipe flared end will clamp up and seal against the olive face once fitted.

Thread just needed cleaning up.
Using the M4 screw just tapped it in and then screwed in the flared brake pipe to fully seat it.

Part 1.
Have now sourced all the parts necessary and completed the twin disc setup.
I had picked up a NOS disc sometime ago and always wanted to do the twin disc setup, as much because I think it looks more balanced but also as I do use all my bikes the single disc quite frankly is very poor.
A number of the parts were used were from a GL1000, longer disc bolts, speedo drive and speedo drive chrome plate. I decided on the GL1000 route because I thought it was a neater way to do it and it looked more original with the chrome speedo chrome plate. However, the GL1000 speedo drive does require some modification.
The caliper and mounting brks were also used parts which have been modified and refurbished with painting and plating as necessary.
The caliper fork mounting brk aligns correctly and does not require any removal of metal from either the fork or brk lugs. The bottom brk lug aligns but appropriate spacers need to be made for the top two lugs. I removed the lugs from the brk that were not required and the top rear lug has to be removed as it fouls directly against the wheel rim.
Having reached the photo attachment limit I have continued in the next post.
