Maybe you could do the same? What rotor or rotors can you use? Maybe an adapter could be made for bearings and once the rotor is on, figuring out how to mount the caliper should be simple enough.
Wilwood makes a spindle for their bearings on the big brake kit for my 53 it just won't mount the big brake kit. They make a spindle for a 57 Bel Air that will mount the brakes. I got completely hung up on making the Bel Air spindle mount on the 53 axle that it never crossed my mind to just make the brake fit the spindle. If you knew how much time I have spent on this you would understand how silly I feel, but happy. Thank you.
