But has anyone put together a viper caliper combo with viper rotors or other smaller rotors for an E-body. Like to see what other options are available. Thanks

I offer a "small" brake kit that mounts C-body 11.75" rotors and first generation Viper calipers on B/E body drum knuckles. http://www.doctordiff.com/viper-caliper-mounting-brackets-for-mopar-drum-knuckles.html Contact info

I made a mock up bracket out of some 1/8" ?sheet aluminum I had laying around to get the hole location,etc right, then went from there. Wasn't all that hard really in my opinion.

And I just made them in the garage with normal tools, I don't have anything special around really. 7999111-2012-12-1514.23.57.jpg (148 downloads)

I had to have my rotors machined (to change bolt pattern) and just had a guy who builts wheels I know just machine them on their cnc machine. Other than that is was a "normal" garage project.
