I had a set of the Fatman knuckles for a while. I refused to put anything that ugly and stupid looking on my car so I sold them. I don't know if they work or not but they are as ugly as a high school shop project. That is funny. Great insult !

I'm working with Cass (DoctorDiff) to build a Viper based front disc kit for my Duster. Plan is to test it out on my car and if it all looks good then Cass might put it into production. Here are a couple of photos showing the first prototype mounted on the bench. This setup uses a DoctorDiff hub, Baer rotor, Viper caliper and an AR Engineering caliper bracket. Looks to me like it is going to work just fine. Should have it mounted up on the car in a few weeks. What size wheels will fit with these? I like the idea.

If you have A body knuckles then use them. Given a choice, I prefer the FMJ, but A body should work. You might need to grind a little clearance for the caliper bracket when using the shorter A body knuckle. Just depends on the forging. Will the FMJ spindle work on an A-body? Kevin

Kevin Don't they look like they work in the pictures?

Looks great Andy. Any idea when the kit is going to be available and if you can get it without the calipers?
