Since Tim Peterson quit doing disk brakes, I found myself in need. I purchased 6 new hubs at $45 apiece and had an excellent local machinist duplicate his flange on the hub, welded and drilled and tapped true. He will be dupicating the caliper brackets also. Because this is one-off work, it is EXPENSIVE! The hubs are $540 a pair plus freight. The calipers and rotors can be found anywhere, they are mid 70s GM parts. The brackets will be more, I don't know how much yet. I'm sorry they are so expensive, but when I slam on the brakes in my M37 at 65, it stops quickly and straight, without ANY pull. That's just with front disks. If any one who perhaps is doing a V8 or diesel increased HP conversion for speeds up to 70-75 mph, good brakes are a safety essential. I have one or at the most two sets for sale. One set is for my PW front end, the other ? The third set is extra.
