    i know there is scarebird with their brackets for D-52 calippers, but that's not worth the trouble imo. Another story would be with 2 or even 4 pot calippers but than again which ones and which rotors? Wilwood looks pretty but the cost is just crazy. So i started thinking and looking on Junkyards for some inspiration and here it goes. Rotor is from Boattail Riv and those are 4 pot Brembo calippers from Mercedes-Benz, they are just mocked up so far and i need to fabricate bracket but it looks promising:idea2: all opinions are welcome.

    Any wheel clearance issues?

    Not at all, they fit perfectly inside late 60's Buick steel wheels. I should have them wheels back from widening on Friday. I will take a shot than to show clearrnce.

    The rear calliper of the "whale shaped" last model Ford Scorpio (still named Granada for the standard models in England) is also a possibility from what I hear.
