From that drawing, I had one CNC'd. It was actually a fairly heavy part when it was finished. I have tried finding the file again, but have yet to find it. I searched my development machine and my file server again, but not luck. You could try emailing Kestrel to see if they could possibly dig up the file for you. The basic idea is to use the bolt holes for the drop-outs as the mounting point for the disc brake mount. Then you'd need the bolt pattern for your particular rear brake mount. Sorry that I can't be more helpful. I managed to get an AutoCAD drawing from Kestrel for thier rear disc brake mount. From that drawing, I had one CNC’d.

I have a '97 Rubicon that does not have a rear disc brake mount, and I'm trying to figure out how to retrofit one. Any info you can provide would be helpful! Thanks!

I'm still unhappy with their policy but they have made an effort to unwind the issue. Helibars refunded my purchase without a bunch of drama.

Since I haven't been attending any events lately, several people wanted to catch up or ask if I had any new positions available. I may be the Tech Lead on the management team, but I am NOT sales. I sat through the keynote. Scott Hanselman is always fun. The session I was most interested in got bumped forward on the schedule, so I missed it. Attendance appeared to be lower this year. It was the very first nice 80+ day we've had this year, so I imagine a lot of people bailed in favor of spending time in the sun. I slept in and arrived during the second session.
