Henry.  I installed the Wilwood caliber's on the front brakes, on 11" vented 
rotors, my design, and used the Fiat 124 caliber's on the rear.

I also use a tandem MC, with bleeds for the MC on the right.  I first put in a 
MC with the bleeds on the left, but changed, because it both interferes with 
one bleed screw, and you can not bleed the MC, without taking the clutch slave 
cylinder loose.

I have not found a booster for the system, as most boosters are for a single 
line, not tandem lines.  This means, you can not use the OEM booster.  Next 
project, is to find a booster.

I may do an article, if there is interest, on the MC, and what you have to do, 
with part numbers, prices and sources.  Last article on safety hoop on the 
United site, generated zero interest.

Oh Well.
