Try Leigh Harrison, 703-494-9914 I have driven his fuel injected 6 wheel disc
brake coach. I can tell you this - it really moves and it stops! I mean it
really STOPS!

Pros:

Leigh Harrison
- uses a huge rotor on the center axle(15 inch) which requires a
backspacer to move the rotor inboard
- complete "bolt-on" kit
- all components cad plated

TSM
- Less expensive
- Works with original master cylinder

Cons:

Leigh Harrison
- Expensive(quality costs)
- Requires P30 master cylinder

TSM
- Not really a "bolt-on" - if you don't get the optional braided rear
hoses you must come up with an acceptable way to plumb the calipers
and the braided hoses are not that great either.
- Currently limits you to a 60mm caliper

Others may have more insight. Another alternative is the "roll your
own" using 76-78 Eldorado rear disk brakes. This allows you to use 80mm
calipers.

I've installed Harrison front rear disk and master cylinder only and plan to
take a trip in early Sept. I'll give a performance report on it when I come
back.
