The pad overhang was not as bad as I had originally thought.....taking the pads to the bench grinder (recommended by a high performance brake pad engineer), I just need to add a chamfer to the edge of the pad to get rid of the overhang......pretty darn easy once I gave it a shot....

the adapter itself will be pretty easy to make and shouldn't cost me much at all for supplies....

I know have to decide what color to paint the calipers (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)
