The front brakes are slowly coming together. Nice heavy duty brackets.



Kore 3 calipers. Nice and light.



Old versus new rotor. I think I know which one will help stop the car quicker. LOL



All mounted up minus the pads. I like how they fill out the back of the rim.




New PMD caps with custom made centering hub spacers.



Back side of PMD cap. I just need to add longer studs.





New master cylinder and adjustable prop valve. All matched up for my brake system.




New front lines good for 3000 psi.



The next project on the car will be a new posi unit and new gears.
THe car has a open carrier and 3:08 gears right now.
I hope the posi unit and 3:55 gears make a big difference.



New KOYO bearings. Made in the USA by Timken. It seems that Timken sold their needle bearing business to KOYO.



New gears.
