Why is it the simplest plans seem to involve the biggest headaches!!!? I'm building what amounts to a T-bucket chassis with a '24 T-35 Bugatti body (yes, it's a little weird, but we all need a toy!).

Anyhow, I go to order the front brake set up from Speedway and they're saying that the 11" disc kits they offer are too big and heavy for the weight of this project! They offer the Pinto disc kits, but they're designed for the early Chevy spindles. Or they have the Wilwood steering/brake kit for just under A GRAND!!!!! I don't think so!

Okay so what are all the T-bucket/Track T and light weight early Ford roadster guys running for front discs?

The axle is a Ford I-beam (unknown vintage, but likely mid '30's) with a 4" drop, and I plan on using Speedway's Ford spindles. The car's running 21" Model A spokes and should weigh in around 1600 lbs.

Motivation comes from an early inline 6 Ford (110 Hp) with a toploader and 8" rear.

The only other requirement is a realistic budget!

Thanks,
Marty
