Hello; I have a 71 Cuda, currently set up with a Wildwood rear disc brake kit. It is impossible to use OEM 15" steel wheels of any kind, which is what i want to do. The Doctor Diff kit is not going to be available for three (or more?) months. Locally I can get a barely used Inline Tube /Pirate Jacks kit, 1966-74 Mopar Rear Disc Brake Conversion With Standard Rotors https://www.inlinetube.com/products/dbk834Anyone have any experience with this kit, good or bad? My experience with inline Tube is that I will not be able to get any decent information from them, and the web page is pretty limited. Any help is appreciated, I want to get this car back on the road! Thanks, Mark

I'm planning on a rear disc setup... heavily leaning towards the Dr Diff 10.7" rear setup for a few reasons: proven setup; can use 15" rims (I also want that option... to retain my 15" rims whenever I want, despite having larger diameter rims for occasional road course track days); the option to retain the favored factory-design tapered axle bearings -- superior and extremely critically important for lateral cornering loads, as well as allows for factory-designed axle end-play; has an optional e-brake cable. The only thing I wonder about is the availability of replacement parts for that Dr Diff setup... I'm uncertain, but I think the rotors are from a Camry, the calipers and pads are from a Ford small Mustang Cobra.
I'd only hope the the eventual swap will be a worth-while performance improvement... especially on the road courses... I've installed the larger 11.75" Cordoba brakes... still to be tested... soon... new engine waiting to be fired-up... then driven!

Dr Diff/Cass -- thanks for the info. I was unaware of your Ford Explorer 11.25" rear setup for our Mopars... something to re-consider, compare differences, etc.
