Need to get into a better braking system The cars a 71 demon Has factory sbp front disk brakes Rear is LBP drums using aftermarket axles
Like the looks of the willwood calipers obviously
Currently leaning towards a 17x7 front wheel and a 17x9.5 or wider rear wheel What kits are available that I can inquire about Most stuff I see is based of drum spindles

Does anyone (still?) sell a 'simple' and affordable Wilwood caliper on a stock 11.75" disc system?
Of course the Wilwood claiper would need to have a minimal 2.75" piston area just like the stock calipers had.
I think to recall having seen Andy made brackets for this purpose but he stopped producing them because of low demand? Or was this something else he made once?
Those were brackets that adapted gen 1 Viper brakes to the 11.75 rotors. I remember seeing them in Mopar Action. Wish he still made them.

I put the Mustang Cobra brakes from Dr Diff on my Duster...13" front, 11.75" rear. Great brakes, especially with the hydroboost, which pushes them over the edge to insane. 73 Disk spindles and 68 B-body 8 3/4
The car has 18x9 +35 at all 4 corners and 275-35-18 tires.
'70 Duster 470hp 340/T56 Magnum/8 3/4 3.23 Sure-Grip

I sold the design for the Wilwood on 11.75 rotor to DoctorDiff when I got out of the brake business.

Currently leaning towards a 17x7 front wheel and a 17x9.5 or wider rear wheel What kits are available that I can inquire about Most stuff I see is based of drum spindles I'm putting Viper calipers with 13 inch rotors on the front of my '72 Duster. I'll be using a 17x6 wheel with a 205/55-17 tire since it is more of a drag race car than a corner burner.
