Doing a pwr disc conversion on 65 GTO. I am thinking of using this companies custom aluminum hub with the 79-81 trans-am rotors. This allows use of the stock drum spindle. It wouldn't appear totally stock, but then again, disc on a 65 ain't stock, and w/Rally I's you can't see much except the rotor anyhow. Please check the two links to see how the system is assembled.

I am only going to use their lower end and am purchasing booster/master/lines elsewhere. Can anyone think of why this approach is less desirable than the typical replace the spindle approach ? To me it has advantages of not having to mess with the whole front end at the same time as doing brakes. Allows me to deal with the two work items separately. There are minor advantages also like it keeps the geometry 100 0dentical,some possible weight savings, no alignment needed at time of brake swap.

The downside is reliance on a custom item ( hub ).

Interested in your humble and not so humble opinions.
