Brakes
The front brakes have been converted to 10.5” vented EBC GD7163 discs using a light weight Wilwood D154 dual piston aluminum caliper mounted to a custom bracket from David Clemens that positions it at the nine o’clock position. Brake pads are Hawk HP Plus-154 racing compound.
The rear uses stock drums with carbon Kevlar shoes and new hardware again from The Source. All new stock size wheel cylinders and lines were used along with stainless flex hoses.
The parking brake hardware has been removed and self adjusters were replaced with manual kits on rear. Backing plates have been drilled for cooling.

Cooling ducts were added using the parking lights opening as an inlet and 2 ½” flex hose to back of disc.
The Wilwood aluminum dual piston clampers require a 1/4” spacer and some grinding on the caliper to clear the Bassett and TorqueThrust wheels.
