    What brakes / front end for my R project ?

    Need some help deciding what to do on the front end of my R project car. Donor was a 66 car with solid discs all round and the A arm on one side is terrible.

    I want to have ventilated discs up front and possibly bigger callipers. I am not so concerned about being totally "correct" for a real R. I just want to stop well.

    Has been suggested I use a later SC front end complete. I plan to use the original 2 1/2/ turn stering rack though as I am sure I will need to ability to apply opposite lock quickly

    Any advice or experiences on front end upgrades on any early car would be appreciated.

    have posted a couple of pics of progress so far. This is definitely not one of those "weekend" projects for your early 911.
