Cliff, I don't want to throw any water on your project, it sounds like a good one. I used Baer brakes on my front end. Quite possibly it's the size of the calipers that make the difference but with their 12" brakes they require a 16" wheel w/0" offset. They said most 16" wheels would work (15" would NOT work) but they had no list of which 16" would and/or would not work; it depended on the offset of the wheel (not the backspace) and the thickness of the rim. I opted for the 13" Track system since I was going with 17" wheels anyway. All of their systems bolt to stock spindles (like mine did with my 67) and have all brackets, bolts, master cylinder, etc. I did have to order an adjustable proportioning valve as a separate item and make up a couple of lines to fit it in. Naturally, everyone has their own choice of disc sizes, brands, etc. but the 13" system was only $10 more than the 12" system they have and, as I said, I was going to use 17" wheels anyway so I opted for the larger setup. Then I sprung for the polished calipers, slotted/drilled/zinc dipped rotors... :*) Dale McIntosh ACES #1709/TC #92 Gold 67 SS/67 Elky http://www.dalesplace.com > The first guy said I need at least a 15x8" rim > for the 12" rotors to fit, and the second guy said that they will > work with the 15x7's with (worst case scenario) some minor > caliper machining.
