This is what we use on the buggies.
how does the hand brake cable work - does it pull forward or to the centre?

If you look at the photo you will see a spring on teh inside. This is teh return spring for the handbrake. The pivot is the point just below it and the cable joins on below that.

falcon rotors + frontera discs
will take some pics/post my setup when i get the chance, works well has been on for about 2000km now with no probs (except i really need 16" rims because rocks get stuck between caliper and rim with 15")
Handbrake works fine too on this setup though i need to refix a couple of pivot mount which have loosened and made it a little less effective.

what gutsy said except use GQ rear disks then there is no need for spacers, just 8-10mm plate brackets, all bolts together. around $200 in parts, ie cheaper than fixing the disks. bit of work in the brackets. I can pull mine and take photos/drawings of the brackets of you want.
need to grind about 5mm out of the inside of the caliper bracket to clear the massive GQ disk.
