If anyone is interested in getting disc brakes on their classic motor might consider trying these guys:

They sell brackets very well priced ($100-150)that use OEM rotors and calipers from various vehicles. It works out almost half the price of most other kits.

A good cheap way in to disc brakes. Although you only get OEM performance.

Im going for Wilwoods all round because im a snob!!!

Yeah have seen them before but have also heard some bad things abou them. Im with you wilwoods all the way

I know Graeme has said the Poncho boys have had issues with them . . but a few Modded Caddy guys have used them as templetes to make heavier duty versions with no problems.

Result - good design, crap product.

SSBC are way over price imho.
I know what your saying about the quality of the first place, the brackets do look a little on the thin side.
