Are you using the BBU hubs as well?

Nice work Bill, as always.

The hubs are a set from Kore3.

Little more work this weekend. Got the BIGBRAKEUPGRADE brackets for the front, and installed. Everything looks good now.
Still Waiting on a bent metal for the trans tunnel.

Thanks for looking

Love the brakes and I think I will eventually get a set.

The only problem waiting, is that they don't make the LH backing plate anymore. I had to find some on EBAY, and also found the calipers at the same time.

My goal was to use as many factory parts as I could in this build.
Thanks for looking.

One thing that you might want to keep in mind is that when you use a fixed caliper there is going to be some pad knock back when using a hub with tapered bearings. Modern cars that use fixed calipers have hub assemblies.
