I bought a set of his 8 3/4 rear conversion brackets and the related pieces, 
haven't begun the installation yet on my '72 Cuda.  Unfortunately the rear 
kits he makes use a '79 firebird caliper that is very expensive, but the 
rotors are Mopar (300M).  I've since found another company that makes a 8 
3/4 conversion bracket kit that uses Eldorado rear calipers which are more 
readily available and cheaper.  However, I will say that the brackets are 
very heavy and well made, look professional, and everything should work out 
fine.  I think I will probably substantially save over SSB or MasterPower 
kits, and since they don't use Mopar calipers either, nothing lost there.

The big advantage to the brackets you are looking at seems to be no changing 
the spindle like you need to with late A brakes.  I read the write up in the 
brand new Mopar Muiscle magazine on comparing the F/M body spindles to the A 
body, and they are saying you can use them, looks like a pretty scientific 
study at least to a non-engineer like myself.  Those are more available 
right now, and Fat Man even makes those in a dropped version should somebody 
want that!
