1966 MK1A - I am curious as to what after market brake and wheel combinations
people are using.
B B B  B B B  B B B  B B B  B B B  I would like to go with a
larger front disk & caliber and put disk brakes on the rear.

Dale's
restoration has 2 front kits and one rear kit available.

10008 Wilwood Front
Brake and Vented Rotor Kit
10.5" Diameter RotorB  4 Piston Calipers.
Includes
custom mounting brackets and kevlar pads. $950.00B  

B B  Wilwood Front Brake
and Vented Rotor Kit
12.19" Diameter RotorB  4 Piston Calipers.
Includes
custom mounting brackets and kevlar pads.
Must use 15" or larger wheels.B 
$950.00B  

10009B B  Rear disc brake kit Includes calipers, rotors, e-brake
cables, brackets, kevlar pads and hardware - bolt on $850.00B  

These kits
are pretty pricey but appear to have everything needed but use a 4 bolt lug
nut pattern.B  What are the other options for increasing the braking
performance of the tiger?

I would like to use one of the American Racing
Wheels but they are 5 bolt lug nut pattern.

&show=allB or
Torq Thrust DB  Painted Machine Alloy Series # 105

What is the best overall size of wheels and tire commbinations to use without
having to modify the wheel lips?B  Original was 13 " rims.B  Going to 14 or 15
", width and tire sizes with knowing the wheel offsets to fit brake package
and still fit correctly in the wheel wells.B  Can you keep the same sizes
front and rear?

How in the world do you determine all of this?

Thoughts,
pictures, sizes, part numbers etc would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Joel
