this is a disc brake...but i like the lay out of the bracing a lot...would need to go topside...i guess the brake arm could be mounted to the brace if it was underside....but i think the stay arm and drum would be better left in the position it is now

Goes around the chain, I don't see why it couldn't go around the stay.

dutchz did a over-brace on his stock z1 arm with drum brake, probably just flip it to the bottom.

Man, that Dutchz bike is still the gold standard of modded Zs, and his pics are everywhere. Whatever happened to him?
