Hydraulic brake conversion kit arrived

No welding needed you need to shave of the retainer tab for the ebrake cable so it doesn't interfere with the rod.
There's two mounting brackets & only fit in two positions.. Caliper & Peg, I used a few washers here & there.
Bolt it together & bleed! Now, my bleeders on the caliper are damaged, any idea where I can find replacements?

Well, it was kind of a pain in the butt to install.

As far as mounting and routing, not too bad. The problem came from the OEM cable mount where the return spring also hooks too. The directions said to bend or grind out of the way.... Yeah right. It was break out the cutoff wheel, and cut that puppy all the way out.

Also, with an all stock blaster, the actuating rod from the master cylinder to the pedal sits at a bit of an angle, and no matter how much shaving I did, I still had to re-engineer the hook to the master cylinder arm. When I did get it to hook up, then the rod caught on the frame, and I'm not a huge fan of grinding the fram down.

Then I did not get the ferrill tightnened down fully, so blew off the line on the test ride, necessitating pulling the cylinder back off and rebleeding. I think I'll still need to do one more rebleed, and some adjustments then should be golden.

Only other thing I do not like, is I think I'm going to reinforce the mount for the master cylinder, and incorporate a skid plate with it, as I can see a rock eating it on a trail. On a duner, it wouldn't be an issue. So, with some ingenuity, not a bad kit, but performance review won't be until next week. Only pics I have are from my cell phone, so I'll try to load 'em up tomorrow.
How do i buy one of those kits
 
I used a chinese atv break caliper modified the bracket and ot works not sure of how much breaking power it will have its not much smaller than the blaster break caliper altho it doesnt have the parking brake but seems to work great a d is alot cheaper to get
