12:05 Garage- ’70 Duster build

I had thought about selling these calipers and going with the new Ford Brembo style, but those aren't cheap either, so I decided to keep these and make something work. I got lucky years ago and picked up these for $300 on ebay. I bet it would be hard to find 1 for that price now. I don't know CAD, but have plenty of friends that draw things up for me. I'll just give them a nice hand scaled ahnd drawing with all the dimensions and let them knock it out for me.

I think the cheap way to go today is the Scat Pack calipers or maybe something from a GM car. Not really sure about the SP caliper though as they have a different construction than the Viper calipers you have, but they seem to run them on a lot of cars.

I have a single radial mount rear caliper for a later Viper, but don't want to spend the money for another one and a bracket is much more involved. Everything so far has been easy to get cut out of a plate on a laser or water jet, but that would require buying a kit or getting a machine shop involved.

I started as a drafter and love layouts for this stuff. Unless the base for the layout is wrong (see above).
