As you know I was fitting the Viper conversion brakes to the Cuda....after losing stuff on route to England and wasting time attempting to get the conversion kit made,,,i bought one.....which of course never arrived ???
lost AGAIN !!!come on
so after letting the salesman know of my plight he personally sorted it and post it first class signed for FOC :D
that arrived :thumbright:

So now its all done and fitted inc my drilled and slotted Cordoba rotors
going to test it at the weekend and bed the new discs in and Red stuff pads

all new 5.1 silicon fluid...so we'll see,
proportioning valve fitted to shut down the rear brakes
Bloody good pedal so far.

And as a Bonus they do fit under 4x15 Pro stock centrelines, much to my delight 8-) so probably any C/Line wheel and 15" wheels.

So anyone doing this I have all the info and kept a list of all the little bits that you need and P/ns, etc it will just make it easier to have all the bits before you start.
...just PM me or ring

Will, its the 73 cuda disc brake servo

Standard rear drums..with a proportioning valve and 7/8 slaves so I can turn the rears down to prevent lock up before the fronts.
