Unanswered: Kadett B Brakes

Looking to upgrade the brakes on the front of my 73 Kadett.
What is the easiest and quickest way? ie. What can be a bolt on upgrade/transplant from another vehicle.
Ideally i'm looking for vented discs/rotors and larger brake pads all to fit under 13" wheels.

Similar to GT

If it's truly a Kadett B (not the Kadett C), check out what's available for the GT
(larger calipers, rotors, rear wheel cylinders, maybe rear discs).

Hi!
Hope you can stand my sometimes bad english.....
I have a Kadett B Rallye Coupe 1969....
There is a number of alternatives if you like to upgrade your brakes.
I don't know how common opel are at your place but here there's a lot of them....
You think you still have a firm called "Splendid Parts (US)"....they are very good at the GT and the Kadett B is pretty much the same.
I use a kit from the same firm (Germany) that makes you able to use the 13" wheels, bolt on. http://www.splendidparts.de
For registration here (with a lot of horsepower)in Sweden you just need the brakesystem from rekord 2,2 (vent discs).

You can also look at the forum opeltuners to get some new ideas.

Please feel free to contact me if there is something you might need from Sweden.....

Regards Beginner
