Lose the pad ears, mill a flat surface so the caliper bracket sits flat.
Tada, one modified upright.
As for hub, more work, but take one E-Series disc, part down everything that makes it a disc... tada, one hub.
Alternatively, if you just want to buy the shit, and UPC is unhappy to sell individual parts, try ringing Racebrakes.
You might have more luck with them...
That is 100% the cheapest way for sure.. Pushes e-series offset out by whatever thickness the new disk is, about 10mm.
A territory vented 330mm will slide over an e-series hub/disk with the bracking surface parted off. Perhaps EL studs need to be installed to the e-series hub first.
Just freaks me out taking material out of an upright. A mill to get shit perpendicular would be A+ ideal. But brake pad will allow for fine tolerance faults once bedded in.

I think that the people that do the brake upgrades have either had an engineer look at their work and approve it, or they are qualified to do it themselves.

Don't fit Lanky. Problem is that the 9.5's have an offset of +18 and the 9's have an offset of +34. I can't be 100% sure but I'm pretty sure the 9's will touch the uprights.
Why would you take the risk of that when the 9.5's fit so bloody well, a quick roll of the guards and off you go, SICK wheels all round.

Yes, sorry was getting more at do you think an engineer or 'approved person' would sign off on the process listed? (mainly the part regarding making hubs out of the original rotors).
I realise in the end (in qld anyway) it comes down to the individual willing to sign off on the mod.

OED666 wrote:so even with 9" wide rims, we'll have to modify the guards.. well fuk, if they need to be modified for 9"'s, then 9 1/2" wide ones it is. :S just forgetting for a moment my car is farking low at teh front.. :S

UPC +28mm brake kit and 17x9.5" Drifteks with +18 offset and 235/45/17 Federals.
No actual modification was done to guards, they still retain the factory shape on the outside. There was quite a bit of rolling the lip up behind though.
Brett has driven it around quite a bit today and has not had a scrubbing issue, sounds like a win to me.
Can't wait to do it to my car!
