You would need to decide what size wheels you want to use and Bob P. could then advise as to which brakes would fit. (Actually the Sierras did not fit until Ted ground off some of the "fins" on the caliper.)
There is a car sitting in the shop now where the owner decided, against Bob P's recommendation to use certain brakes. ERA sent the brake folks an upright, but to date, what has been produced does not fit. The bottom line? Having built some 85 ERAGTs, approx 800 ERA427SC and now some 125 ERAFIAs, the boys up in New Britski have pretty much seen it all. You deviate from their recommendations and counsel at your peril.

I would go with the biggest brakes ERA recommends. I don't have a need to blaze any new trails.
I'm looking forward to speaking with Peter on Monday.
