I am looking for experiences with whatever "kit" (brackets, rotors, etc) that you used. This is for the four bolt spindle, not the three bolt spindle.

Like these:

Sorry. Never heard of him. I have contacted Roger at AAJ and Mark at Scarebird. Neither of them have confirmed that they have a bracket for the 56 Desoto or Chrysler 12" x 2.5" front brakes with the four-bolt spindle.

I also contacted Sven and Dieter in case they had info and they do not.

How do I contact Charlie Akers?

Okay. Thanks.

Found one of their brackets that is supposedly correct for my application but it doesn't look as robust as some others that I have seen (for other applications):
