In all likelyhood with a shared 5/100 hub setup, you could swap the backing plate (which holds the caliper bracket and e-brake assembly) using your current hub. Rotor would definately fit onto your existing hub, though I don't know about how your wheels would appreciate the new configuration.
Also consider swapping the rear proportioning valve. |

Also, I don't reccomend getting the assembly in "parts". It'll just cause a massive headache. Be sure to get the entire spindle complete. Don't buy it in parts. -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"
