That's probably overkill, honestly a 310mm single rotor is probably overkill but it sure looks neat!

The hard part was the spindle.
it would've been much easier to farm it out.
but I did it on a HF lathe, and bought dies for the threads.
then you have to adapt wheel with a 20mm axle to a 17mm.
you can't get bearings just to swap it over, so I had a sleeve made for the bearing.
the rest was a piece of cake. hammer to fit, file to finish. Cool

This is a REALLY ROUGH draft of what I'm looking to do.
