Cregg,

That's the very kit I used.  The only change I made to the rallydesign 
kit was that the rallydesign kit came with long cotter pins to hold the 
pads in (rather than the pins that are used on our Girling calipers) and 
I purchased some long(er) pins from Aircraft Spruce and used those 
instead.  Don't know if it works on the "early" calipers.  I have a '73 
and it worked fine.  The pertinent measurement is the spacing between 
the bolts that hold both sides of the caliper together.
