So I tightened up the caliper and mounted it, and it actually is working fine no play at all. Also I sanded all the little crash marks off the brake levers and polished them.
More Good news, I tried the front fender from a Ross Apollo parts bike and it actually fits so I now have the front fender all set. Just need to get the back mocked up.
NOW THE BAD!!!
I had a crazy afternoon, between having to fix a leak in the pool, then a sump pump burning out, and fixing a broken drier door, I was annoyed and exhausted. I figured Id unwind by working on the bike. Well around 9pm I was polishing the arm for the rear caliper and it flew out of my hand. It must have taken off like a pop fly because I was already on my hands and knees looking for it when I heard it land on the roof of the garage. So I climbed up on the roof and was looking around with the light off my cell phone and couldnt find it. Hopefully I'll be able to find it when the sun comes up tomorrow... Otherwise this build might be dead in the water... I already tried the Dia-compe caliper off the Apollo and I tried ebay for another excel caliper. I may really have screwed my self.
