Post a wanted ad for a rear under mount caliper.
Can someone give me a idea of how I can make this happen.
Installing a Metmachex are but it was made for a undercount caliper.

machine/fab a custom bracket to put it right where you want it.
maybe possible to cut down the brake you have and re-mfg it so you can bolt a newer caliper to it,perhaps?

I'd get a tab welded on, underslung calipers always look odd to me on a kz. Sure I know it lowers the centre of gravity a touch.

Also bear in mind that cast alloy in the brake caliper body has greater strength in compression than in tension, conversely that nice looking custom tourqe arm will be the opposite, working better as a tie than a strut.

You can get the genuine mirrored metmachex stickers on ebay uk.
