I got the rear subframe & all the rear brake parts back from sandblasting yesterday and before I painted everything (in KBS Coatings RustSeal http://www.kbs-coatings.com.au/ and a gloss black enamel) I had to drill a new hole for the new 5/8" rear brake cylinders. The brake backing plate is designed for a 3/4" brake cylinder so needs to have a new hole drilled to suit the 5/8" cylinder (The 3/4" and 5/8" cylinders have the locating pin on different sides of the inlet). The solution is to simply drill a new 4.5mm hole on the other side of the main cylinder mounting hole in the backing plate.
Before (note that the pin on the new 5/8" brake cylinder is on right but the standard hole is on the left side) :
After :
Painting before (note the blue tape masking threads and other areas - freshly sandblasted) :
After (two coats of KBS RustSeal brushed on and two coats of enamel sprayed on) :
