What Disc Brake Upgrade do I have?

[michiganhotrod1]

Hello;
I am trying to complete my project car 71 Cuda Convertible. The PO is no longer available to ask, and I cant readily identify the Viper disc brake upgrade kit he installed.
The car originally had 4 wheel drum brakes. The current rotor is the 11.75" "Cordoba" one, and the calipers clear factory 15" wheels.
I need to see if there is a ready made brake hoses that work with the origninal steel brake lines, plus any other fit issues, hardware parts, etc. needed to make this work.
Any information is appreciated.
Mark

The pictured brake conversion parts appear to be by AR Engineering. The following is an image of some paperwork for the kit:

It is possibly kit part number AR011.

It looks like AR Engineering no longer makes this kit, but they might be able to offer more information about it.

There was other companies that made disc brake conversions using Viper calipers, but I think Dr. Diff is the only one still making them. Give them a call, I'm sure they'll be able to help.

Regardless of who made the kit, the hard line fitting on the sub-frame and caliper fittings are the same between all kits, because they aren't part of the kit. Hoses will all interchange between them, so long as the calipers is on the right side of the spindle.

AR Engineering and Dr Diff talked about the kits their two companies were offerings any years ago. ARE dropped the Viper kit so Dr Diff could offer his. They figured there was not enough market for two Viper conversion providers.

In any case, Dr Diff can provide you hoses made specifically for using the Viper caliper on a vintage Mopar.
