A3 Disc Brake Conversion - Brackets and Parts

[Potluckslammy]

This is NOT a pro/con thread comparing drums and discs. Have spent long HOURS searching, reading, studying on the subject until I'm blue in the face, and not interested in entertaining anyone's opinion about which is better, or why. Also, not asking to join in a technical discussion, which has already been covered at length.
There seems to be only one, current source for a complete kit that I'm able to find. That would be the easiest thing. But I'd sooner be mule kicked in the gonads than flush the pile of money they want for their setup!
What I'm asking for is help locating a set of brackets. Info on the subject seems to be out of date...all sources have dried up, and contacts disappeared or running silent. So who's making them? If there isn't a manufacturing source, then how about a CAD file? Anyone gone to the trouble? Or how about a technical drawing, then? At this point I'd settle for crayon on a napkin as long as it had measurements! Or....if anyone already has a set, or one of the over-priced kits, could you be persuaded to loan me the use of a bracket/brackets? I'll pay shipping both ways, and have them returned to you in the time it takes me to pencil rub a template and take some measurements!
Beyond fabbing a set of brackets, most everything seems to be available off the shelf. A parts list would sure make things easier, but I have yet to see one. With a little time one could figure out a nut and bolt count, but what I don't have right now is the heaps of time it would take to re-engineer a one-off.
Thanks if advance for any assistance!

Keith Waligura makes batches of brackets for the rears and provides a list of parts to complete them. His brackets are $75/ axle. Idk if he's on here but he's on Facebook.
For front brakes you'd have to figure something else out. They're quite a bit more complicated. Steve from Differential Engineering made the best kits on the market, but doesn't anymore. Probably worth the time and money to just buy a complete kit at least for the front. I think C&C equipment is the only one making a front kit now.

I already tracked Keith down on Facebook, the long way around. He's not accepting new messages, as of this afternoon, and has nothing on the auction site. Also searched C&C, and all the usual suspects... didn't find anything from them.

Update: Kyle Wolski over at Black Rock Fab helped me out. He had the dxf files on hand to do the conversion as featured on "Hank's Deuce". It uses F550 calipers all the way around, and B700 rotors all the way around.

Unfortunately, he didn't have some of the materials on hand to fab a set of brackets for me. It requires 3/8" plate, and DOM tubing...too expensive for a fab shop to order in the small quantity required. So...I bought the drawings from him, instead!

Finding a shop to cut the plate shouldn't be a problem. Have a source in mind for the short length of tubing. A couple bends, a few welds, and a touch with a grinder here and there, and I'll be rolling!

I know OP found his solution, but I didn't see a few other options listed here. I've found a few places that supply these kits and they're usually very expensive, ie: $2k+/axle. However Boyce Equipment is offering kits at the lowest prices I've seen. I don't know about the quality though there are a few videos on YouTube that reference these kits from people seemingly unconnected to Boyce.

Motor Trend did an article on the Boyce kits in 2019. There wasn't a lot of information, but there were lots of pictures.
