Yes, the de-rake kit too has a fork stop, but it is on the other side of the lower cup. If I would use the normal kit mounted backwards the fork stop lug fill be facing backwards too and not be of any use.

"On the other hand during hard braking there would be forces trying to flip the cups when used in the "rake out" position, that would not appear in the de-rake position."
Good point! 👍
And, as it looks like you found someone who designed them for de-rake, even better.
Just wondering what the procedure is to get them in correct "timing" if I can use that word here. Or clocked into correct position... 🤔

I am pretty sure I will be able to mess that up pretty badly

"To De-Rake or not ... that is the question"Alignment should be pretty easy. A "Precision" Alignment is not needed. "Very Close" will suffice
