(ET) Brake Upgrade

[D Howell <dervatl yahoo com>]

Was looking at my I-5 brake assembly this weekend. 
It's very easy to see since the machine is on it's
rear end during refurbishing.  It appears that I have
the later style brake assembly with the two long bolts
(with a spacer) at either end.  The center (where the
pads is) is not adjustable.  One of the two bolts was
not snugged up tight against the spacer, so I snugged
both up.  This helped the adjustment.  Additonally, I
slightly changed the length of the brake rod wich also
helped.  

The pads themselves do not appear to be worn out. 
They have friction pads that would equal about 3 or 4
quarters stacked.  Since I don't know how big new ones
are, I'm just guessing here.  

I've been reading about Bill Gunn's brake upgrade. 
How is it different from what I have?  Is it only the
caliper assembly that's different, or is the rotor
also different?  I'm not sure which rotor I have, as
mine was kinda coated with dried muddy water.  I do
know that it had rivets in it at the base.  This would
probably indicate that it's the steel one.

Anyone have any pictures of the upgraded one?
