Think they have parts for 41' plymouth?
His "kits" consist of caliper brackets, the bearing spacer, and bolts to mount the caliper bracket. Then he gives you a list of parts and numbers from several auto parts chains so you can save money and buy your parts where ever you find the best prices. You do have to retap the bottom spindle bolt holes to a 5/8" fine thread. (He used to offer to do that for you for a fee, if you send him your spindles.) The 39 was the "old" style spindle, and when I was done, the spindle bearing nut and cotter key was real close to the end of the spindle, but it seemed to work OK.
I have install his kits on a 39 Plymouth and a 47 plymouth, both of which had different spindles and contained different parts and different lists. I think he can make you a special kit for a specific application if you need one. He will work with you to be sure everything works. I would do business with him again. Gene

That looks like a very do-able kit. The Master
Power kit requires you to send them youe axle and wait 2 weeks. By the time you ship it there and back, could almost be a month to get them back.
Tapping out those 5/8" fine thread holes requires a bit of effort. The spindles are not the most simple things to hold in a vice so you get the threads cut straight, and the required drill and tap can add up pretty quickly. But it is do-able, and those disc brakes work well. Gene

I have used the kit for early Mopar cars pictured on his website. I got the kit from Plydo years ago.
It works really well, used 69 Fairlane rotors to get the 4 1/2 inch bolt pattern and late 70's mid size GM calipers. I did not tap out the holes, installed helicoil instead. Good thing about the stock calipers is Wilwood makes a light weight replacement, GMIII, for various discs thickness. I love this stuff!!
