Thumbs up Chockostang's Brake Kit

I just installed Dan's kit on my 66 Fastback. I've installed a lot of brakes and this one is excellent. It included everything and a CD with almost 100 pictures showing how it goes together. I know some of you find his posts to be overly aggressive, but he has a lot of passion in his belief of using stock components that you can get at almost any parts store and I have to agree with him that it is a real plus. Look, I don't know him at all, but when I find a decent product, I want to share it. Here are some pictures (I painted the calipers, so no nasty cracks!):

lol, not stupid! It's a 4 piston caliper. The hose is on the inside (you can't see it in the pictures) and the bleeder on the outside with a crossover tube transfering fluid to the outside pistons.

Not familiar with this kit but it looks pretty nice. Do you have a website to check it out?
