Alternate Brake set-ups for TA-22 to RA40 models

Hi all,
Any interest in a tech story on a couple of brake set ups that I have been toying with?
They are being designed to fit any Toyota that runs front hubs the same as RA23's
Several years back Justen S and myself had kits made up using the Nissan GQ rotors. He used the MA60/65 caliper and I went with the Magna TN caliper.
Justen put them on the 3S-G TA22 he sold and I successfully ran mine on my TA22 Sports Sedan.
I sold my set up but have been developing another kit this time using a DBA slotted/cross drilled rotor.
The other kit uses the MA/RA60 hubs with matching slotted rotor and again the Magna caliper as I now run on my '22. This maybe easier than the Pugeot/Hilux version? Not sure until I write it up.
There is also a possibility of using an 80 series Landcruiser four piston caliper on both set ups. That is the next line of experimentation.
I'll include pictures and more details etc, if interested.
Regards
Rodger

i have found an alternative brake upgrade for ta22 - ra65. if it is to be used on a ta22 - ra40 it will need to have camber adjusted.
anyway, it involves:
-MX62 cressida strut legs (they have 90mm calliper hole spacing)
-*A6* rotor and hub 18mm x 260 (?)
-hilux 4 pot callipers
theoretically it should all bolt together  . i havent tried it yet but ill find out soon

im making up a brake setup for my ta22 using series 4 rx7 brakes and nissan disks cant remember what they are from (possible r31) but are 4*114 stud pattern and will fit under 15 inch rim. no strut changes and they are still light and wont affect handling like the hilux upgrade does. thinking of getting a few sets if people are interested.

possible to use ms65 hub??
would need to be 5 stud
thus can the r31 rotor come as a blank and be drilled to 5 stud?

im interested also in seeing some articles on these upgrades.. asap! im going to be doing a front brake upgrade in the near future, possibly using ma61 calipers and discs, so i want to know what could be done that is just as simple but more effective package, before i go out and buy all these bits!!
cheers,
