there is a way, youd have to take the parts to a machinist and have them work a few things out for ya

My dad and uncle are machinists. Would a custom hub be needed? Stock brakes have the hub built into it i've seen.

Why the hell don't you just buy the Baer Track kit with 13" rotors and PBR calipers if you're that dead set on getting something that big? They do have a seperate hub and they fit stock spindles, IIRC. They are definitely overkill on a street car though.

Maybe you and Shaggy could team up on this project and get it rolling again...

Couldn't be anymore expensive than trying to put late model Cobra 13's on an early car.

Gotta pay to play.

im not going to argue.

Plus...anyone can just go buy an overpriced baer kit, some people want to actually hot rod and build it themself.

When dealing with brakes I tend to lean more toward using something that I KNOW will work instead of half-assing them. It's quite apparent that this kid isn't going to listen to any logical thinking anyway so you can be the first on his family's lawsuit when his backyard engineered '03 Cobra brake install goes bad.

mmmmmmkay? ?
