Fabricating dust shields for rear discs

[Matthew Abate]

Has anyone tried to put dust shields on the back after doing a rear disc conversion? I was considering trying to adapt something from another car (280zx, maxima, Silvia, etc.) but wanted to see if anyone has tried, succeeded, or even just had parts laying around to see if it's feasible.
 
Right now I'm thinking some 280zx shields could be red ripped to mount 45 degrees to their original position as long as the diameter works with the discs that come in the kit, which I still need to identify.

 

Edit: the thread title should have said Fabricating, not raving (autocorrect).

I don't think I've ever seen that done. It seems everyone tosses them once done with the conversion.

Another thing I'm wondering is whether the caliper adapter requires the dust shield to be left off in order to align with the rotor.
