Does anyone have pics/build thread for rear big brake upgrade?

There is a centering feature (see the photo). If memory serves, the outer one is to center the brake disc, and the inner one is for the wheel.

What I didn't appreciate is that GSL-SE brakes are hard to come by for you guys. Here and in other countries, all model variants for the 84/85 model years, including the lower spec versions, got the 4x114.3 wheels with bigger brakes. Same deal with our FCs: no 4 bolt wheels with smaller brakes, even the NA models got the same brakes as the TII.
I say all of that to prove a point, finding SE calipers here is almost impossible. I have SE brakes that I had to re-manufacture at home and one of my rear pistons is pitted which will eventually eat up the new seal I put back there. It would be much easier for me to just swap to FC rear brakes and be done with the SE caliper that will leak in the near future. It truly does suck. I'm probably going to have to go to a big brake kit for my car just due to the rarity of SE parts here.
