upper a-frame pivot shaft mounting bolt spacing is different...mod to frame (actually engine cradle) is possible with some welding skills...sorry crs prevents lower a-frame switch info.

I am also looking for brakes for this, if you have old ones that need to be used, feel free to let me know. Thanks in advance, Les
The 12" brakes "just" fit inside a 15" wheel.
