RE: '67 calipers HELP

[webb.p@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Or, if you can find them, a Montreal vented rotor is a direct bolt on if you 
retain the 105 spindles and stock Milano calipers.   I've been looking around 
but haven't found a source for the rotors.   I decided to go with the 115 front 
end swap as mentioned by below with the larger calipers and cross-drilled 
rotors.

Performatek (www.performatek.com) has some interesting alternatives for 105 and 
115 cars for replacement calipers using the Outlaw 4 piston.   Not cheap though.
