We've never used those PBR calipers, so I can't be sure that we can adapt them to the smaller disk until I get one in my hands.

It looks like the caliper will have to be rotated down also, and maybe some extra clearancing of the upright. There's no way to tell whether it will actually work without having all the parts in my hands. You could do some of it by removing the current bracket, installing the smaller rotor, and trying to fit the caliper on the assembly.

Yea, that was my plan. I'll have to cross my fingers. I suppose a bracket of some kind can be fabricated if I can get it all to fit in the mock up stage. Tin foil and cardboard can go a long way, right (: I kind of like the COBRA lettered calipers and they look a little more "vintage" than the modern Wilwood style. It would be nice to be able to keep them in use.

Thanks for the continued support. If these calipers don't work out, do I understand that you indeed have a bracket that would accommodate the Wilwoods I specified? If so, what would be the cost for such a thing?

The brackets will probably be around $200. Since we haven't made them in several years, they're basically one-offs. Maybe we still have some kicking around, if you're lucky.

I did not read all of this, but I have a full setup off of 2076. Spindles, Brackets, Wilwood big brakes. Just bolt it on.

PM if interested.

Thanks Bob. I received the brackets yesterday. They even came complete with new hardware. First class stuff as usual!

Without those low-head fasteners, you'd find that the rotors wouldn't fit. We just try to make sure that those problems don't surprise you at the last second.
