    looks great and im liking it but if you painted the caliper the color of your car it would tie the whole package together. just a thought...

    first off sorry i didn't see your questions about he headers.. the part number is PN-6110-1 from Hooker. jsut so you know you will haev a bit a problem with late model heads.. if you have them on your car.

    anyways back to brakes

    ok i got everything to finally fit.. it would have helped if they sent me the right stuff in the first place though! stuff i requested and stuff that i asked for they said wouldn't work but anyways heres what it is. oh yeah.. this is using the stock maverick drum spindels.

    ok it is a wilwood dynalite pro series front hub kit vented rotor type part number 140-4304-B now it don't fit perfect. i had to a few mods. i think if i did this again i'd beable to do it in one day!

    anyways the problems were kinda minor

    1. i needed to get some screws (seen in the pic below) and some nylock nuts to cap them off cuz the kit didn't come with any and they were the wrong size.

    2. i got the larger wheel bearings to fit the stock maverick spindel

    3. the hub sits a bit far out on the spindel so the stock nut and tin whatever you call it won't fit! you will have to U notch the nut and notch the tin thingy so you can fit the carter pin in the spindel. its a tight fit but it will work!

    4. they don't recomend using the stock brakelines so i used Endura Steel braked brakelines from Russell. i don't know if they just made a part number for it or if they already had it already however when i called Edelbrock (owe Russell) and told them what i needed in size and what not he said they would make me a set. but when they came they had a part number on the invoice so who knows. but part numbers are the following.

    two of each

    #655032 endura 15" 90 -3 To Straight -3
    #642441 Endura -3 1/8" Pipe
    #641331 7/16-24 Female Invert Flare with External
    5/8-18 x #3 AN Male Flare With 5/8-18 Jam

    i'll attach the pic below as well.

    tomorrow i will bleed the system on last time and take it out for a run.. or should i say take it out for a stop. i'll post up if they work.. eh i hope so! :D if you don't hear form me well something happened :eek:

    hope this info helps
