He has upgrades (alternatives) for the Dunlap (Dunlop) and Girlock (Girling) brakes. The calipers are only single piston floating but at least they are using vented rotors. If a solid shaft is stronger or better than a tubular one then most people in the drive shaft and auto manufacturing haven't done their calculations or testing. I have been making the tubular axles with a heavy wall DOM 1020 tube. These axle designs have been well tested used and proven and are a fail safe design as even if the weld shears the axle is held together by gravity. An axle that has been welded together to length and then ground off scares me, especially when it looks like it has a hole in it.
Looks like a few nice pieces of hardware available.
