What disk brake upgrade for a 74 duster, not Wilwood

i'm sure wilwood are great but the issue in Australia is that the rules dictating what you can fit to your car differ in each state or territory and you have to get your modification approved by a qualified engineer in order to allow it to be legal with that states version of the Department of transport even something as minor as a change of track at the front can cause issues if it goes out of the bounds that were set by the manufacturer of the car

i.e in the US you would need to get someone from SAE to do a custom report on your specific car and submit it to a 3rd party in the local department for vehicles and roads, to approve your addition of aftermarket brakes

i.e you spend more on the paperwork than on the actual purchase and fitment

hence if you are engineering a motor swap keeping some of the rest of it nearer standard can help your wallet and sanity

things may have changed i last lived there 20+ years ago

hence i doubt this decision is being driven by a dislike of Wilwood products its more likely a dislike of paperwork and bureaucracy.

in many US states you have it easier, you can build what ya like

Australia and Europe (france and germany mainly) not so much

liking Wilwood and being in a position to fit Wilwood, two different things

and the calipers without rubber seals on the pistons would not be approved
