looking good, have you thought about doing these calipers in aluminum? i don't know why i didn't think about asking you that sooner, before you sent them out for casting
i can't wait, though, for my set of drop spindles with a set of these calipers and some nice slotted rotors, that'll rock
keep up the good work Dennis and let me know if you need anything.
Yes, I considered casting them from aluminum, but they would cost quite a bit more. My primary focus is daily drivers, so economic performance comes first.
Im kinda lost, I just installed my Granada power disc brakes. Will your calipers work with those brakes?
nice do you happen to do the bracket to retrofit the early t-bird/linclon four piston caliper to the 69 big bearing spindle?? if so I want a set
no, unless he has a secret bracket project he hasn't told us about. these are repro's of the original 65-67 Kelsey Hayes 4 piston calipers.
that's cool, was just asking. i guess that anyone who really wants an aluminum version and wants to spend the coin they could always get the version made a certain one of the big name companies.
the same place also makes an aluminum version of the big lincoln calipers, however no one makes a reasonably priced caliper adapter bracket for the big lincoln brakes. an affordable version of that bracket would be nice.

so those calipers only work on 65-67 OEM disc brakes? what brackets are you talking about? sorry if those are dumb questions. I'm a newb
A huge improvement for these would be to make the cross-over tube for these things internal. ATE calipers have internal cross-overs and they are much nicer to work on. I don't know if something like that would be in the cards, it may not work with the design of the caliper. Just an idea to check into.
How much is too expensive for you ? I paid $750 for my package on Ebay, new everything. I think that is pretty reasonable. If you can do it as well and cheaper then great.
$500 is too expensive.
The big guys use a business model that can not be sustained. They rely on "dealers" to sell their products. They are forced to market the product in order to inflate its perceived value to a point that both they and the dealers can charge a price that generates enough profit to support their business. This 3 level marketing (and even 4 level) has been used in the auto parts industry forever, and is in the process of becoming made obsolete by the internet. Because of the internet, guys like myself can reach the market directly (2 level marketing). The manufacturer using 2 level marketing can reduce the retail price by 40-60% without sacrificing quality or customer service.
