Anybody putting together new motors or karts for this year?

I'm in the process of assembling a Chapparal. It has a 3 bearing rear axle and I'm running a single 101 on the right side. I'm having a little trouble mounting the brake caliper and am confused about a few other things also. I hope someone can shine some light on these questions for me.
1. I have a Rupp aluminum caliper bracket, should this mount flush outboard of the left side bearing?
2. Would I be better off mounting it to the center bearing bracket. If so, does anyone have an extra bracket that the caliper bolts to that they would sell?
3. I have 2 styles of bearings for the rear axle, one type has the cam locking collar and the other has just a set screw. Would the the cam style be the best?
4. Can Bob K call me sometime?
It would be nice to hear about any fresh stuff coming together. I'm more guilty than anyone but it would be great to get a little chatter going on the forum. Rick Brown
