Floating Brake fabrication?

Since I know there's guys on this forum who've made their own everything - from disk brake mounts to full-on carbon frames - has anyone made their own floating brake setup? Anyone know if the swiveling hub/brake mount piece changes from bike-to-bike, or is it just the arm that changes to accomodate different mount points? And yes, you guessed it, I'm looking to make my own. :-)
