Look at the dr diff kits with the FMJ spindle or 73-76 Abody spindle. 1) 2 piston PBR/Cobra caliper with 13” rotors 2) 4 piston brembo/brembo-like calipers with 13” rotors What is the situation that you get the poor braking with the factory disk?

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? BigBlockMopar.com

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.

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

See below: http://www.doctordiff.com/viper-caliper-mounting-brackets-for-mopar-drum-knuckles.html I also reproduce the AR000 Wilwood on 11.75" caliper brackets. I haven't made a listing for this part yet, but I have plenty in stock. http://arengineering.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/000.pdf Contact info

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

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.
