Brake upgrades for 73 B body?

[UKPlymouth]

I'm wondering if any of the later C/B bodies have rotors that can be simply swapped in to replace the stock rotars on my 73 RR?
I've searched but not found anything beyond SSBC, Willwood etc..

many 75-79 BBodys can have the large caliper adapters and the larger rotors will go right on your existing spindles

Second that, or AR engineering used to make an adapter to run Wilwood Dynalite Calipers, (I believe) with the 11.75" in rotors.

and if you want... drilled and slotted rotors:

( dunno brand quality... maybe you will know it better than me! )

Thanks guys, is it simply a case of fitting the rotors, calipers, brackets of a later model car (Cordoba etc) and fitting them to my current spindles without need for any aftermarket parts?

per Rick Ehrenbergs article, and depending your actual setup, no.

You can simply find the bracket to your existant calipers ( if they are pin, get the larger pin kind bracket, if sliders, slider kind bracket ) and bolt on your actual spindles, that would mean just caliper bracket and rotor.

Bearings ( inner and outer ) seal, cap, pads, and keep your actual caliper... alll parts will be the same

( I'm thinking on the same upgrade later, but getting the drilled and slotted rotors )

NOTE... you can't make the 11.75" rotor upgrade if your car got 14" wheels. 15"s are mandatory

Thanks for all replies and explanations. Looking at doctor riffs website it seems he has the required parts to upgrade without breaking the bank. There are little or no American wrecker sites this side of the pond, so new parts are required.
