brake vendors

[river1]

i'm ready for brakes on my 53 chevy with MII front end. i need a chevy bolt pattern and i'm using a master with a 1 inch bore.

which vendor has a good combo of price and service?
service over price tho.

stainless steel? ECI? master power? others?

any brake kit recommendations for my set up?
should i get the caliper mount by mail and the rest local?

thanks for all advice

I'd vote for ECI and against Master Power Brake

ECI's big brake kit is the best. I have one on the '40.

are the parts easily replaceable? I'm thinking if something breaks in resume speed Iowa?

It's an aluminum hub and dust cover that I suspect is proprietary to ECI. I think it's pretty well proven stuff. Steel caliper bracket and big GM caliper. More braking power than the ford rotor, GM caliper hit according to Ralph. I don't remember all the details but it's been in his ads for years.

Ralph and I had words about missing dust covers a couple years ago but he took care of it to my satisfaction.

I don't know if I'd get too wired up about availability in Resume Speed, Iowa anyway cuz they don't have a parts store...

Brakes are an over rated accessory.
