Challenger viper brake kit
« on: January 10, 2014 - 10:19:28 AM »
Has anyone out there put together  a kit or pieces to install viper brakes on a 70-74 challenger. And when I say brakes I mean the calipers and same size but 5 lug rotors on an ebody.  I'd love to see some pics.  And part numbers to compete a set on a challenger.

Thanks

I am about to sell my near new Cordoba setup and install the same Viper brakes. I tool the easy way, got hold of some 74 A body drum brake spindles and bought the complete adapter kit from Doctor Diff. I did not get his rotors because they were going to cost as much to drop ship to Canada as the price of the rotors themselves, but anyway, I need 73 c body !New Yorker rotors or aftermarket equivalent. My setup came at a reasonable price as I received the spindles for nothing from a friend and I got my Viper Calipers for $250. DDiff kit was $246 (not sure of exact) and rotors will run $200 or so. There are ways to do the same if you have more time than money and access to a milling machinery I took the easier path. As Moparman said - Brad might chime in and he made his adapters to do the same setup.

but the easiest way is to use either Dr Diff's kit as mentioned or Andy used to make a kit also? http://arengineering.com/
