Two Styles of Calipers Pre/Post '80

Hey guys wondered if anyone had the dimensions for the later style 82 KZ440/KZ1000 (and possibly others) caliper mounting holes (center-to-center)

I have the earlier style which is different. Round pads vs rectangular.

I wanna see if I can swap up to the '82. Pics attached and also here are the two rebuild kits which cross reference some models:

80s and down: www.amazon.com/Supply-Brake-Caliper-Rebu...1-1&keywords=32-1289
1978 KZ400 B1 Frankenstein

No they are not a direct swap. You will need to get the correct forks or at least lowers from the later forks. I do not have the spacing just now but I mght later. I'm doing the same thing with my project. '76 KZ650 w/ upgrades.
I don't have a plan and I'm sticken' to it! '77 KZ 650 / 750 GPz custom project in progress
