Bill, I don't think you should widen the caliper once you ground the tabs (and the 'L') off. You risk the pads shifting or falling though when they get low.

Great save!
Someday, I might find a set of the the endplates and go at this again.
One huge benifit of grinding the ears off and making a mounting block is that it will be so much easier to remove and replace, instead of messing with that one bolt burried up in the trailing arm netherlands!
Whoever machined mine didn't do a very precise job and this would also be a candidate for improvement. The clearences at the edge of the rotors are extreemly close.
