[QUOTE="SlowSVT, post: 14945324, member: 20202"] I don't think it much matters regarding the difficulty fabbing a set of adapters regardless whether the calipers are radial or axial mount. I'm a mechanical engineer as well and use SolidWorks on a daily basis. From my perspective getting accurate measurements is the most difficult aspect making caliper mounts. Once you have those 2 or 3 critical locating dimensions everything else is pretty straight forward. I'm in the process of adapting 93 Cobra R rear calipers to the IRS. It's 1 1/2 lbs lighter, has a fatter piston, longer pads, accepts a 1" thick disc and plan on having it rub a 12 x .88 Wilwood disc. [ATTACH=full]650852[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]650853[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]650854[/ATTACH] I had the cast iron mounting ears welded-up extending them out to accept the 12" diameter Wilwood discs (the disc shown in the picture above replaces the Terminator disc and are slightly smaller).
