I sure hope Wilwood's kit is more reasonably priced than this one! That is a bunch of $$$ for a front only kit!

That's what we are trying to take care of as far as cost factor. I think my car will be going over to Wilwood next week for prototyping.

For that much I would insist on brake lines, not break lines.

That is great! I am awaiting the results. Sure wish I could get my car built by the prototype process some of you lucky individuals are participating in! LOL!

I'm really not looking to get brakes out of it. My friend works at Wilwood and just trying to get some kits made.
 
I have a feeling the other guy heard about my post and is trying to make hay while the sun shines!!

An Aerospace kit is better priced than that one! Part of the reason for the big price tag is the billet AMC hub though. Aerospace makes a billet hub too as far as I remember... or they may have found a hub that fits the AMC spindle and made up any difference with the caliper mount (but I don't think so!).  There are some guys in one of the Texas AMC clubs running Mustang II spindles, but the offset of the rotor is different and they had to make spacers or custom brackets (don't recall which) to mount the calipers. I don't recall any details, but I think it's the small bearing spindle (drum brake/79-83 disc) that the MII bearings work on. I don't recall if a spacer or anything like that was needed on the spindle.
