I went through the same thought process and ended up buying the Wilwoods through ERA. I just installed the brakes last week, and I'm glad I didn't try to source them myself. ERA machines the knuckle and adds a mounting bracket, and I think they machine the wheel for clearance as well. If you buy everything through them you will get a tested solution that will fit with no issues. My brakes went right on with a few shims and everything fits flawlessly.

BTW, I'm on the Peninsula so PM me if you want to discuss the brakes, or stop by and see my build.
