This idea has been in my brain for at least 5 years (maybe more). I see it in my dreams and the picture has been clear but I've never gotten (made) the time to do it. Finally put some stuff on the burner and got it done.
Others have made HYD conversions for the Mighty 4 using many different parts and methods. I have seen some of them and I think they are all good and do the job as intended. My issues with conversions is that I don't want to use parts (calipers, masters, etc) that are not an OEM Yamaha snowmobile part and I want a mechanical parking brake.
Here's the first and final product. A bracket that bolts in with the original mechanical brake to mount the new HYD caliper and an adaptation to the OEM mechanical brake to keep it and utilize it as the parking brake. All the parts are either OEM Vmax-4 or from Yamaha trailing arm tripples (SRX 700, Viper, ect). Even the bolts needed. Haven't been able to test it yet but I worked this idea out with a good friend who ownes a machine shop and we are both quite confident it will work and hold up as intended.
I have to make at least 2 more for my stuff and may do a bunch if there is any interest.
What-chya-tink?? (lol)
