Rob:
I really like my 10 and 3/4” front brakes, I used this size as I still have 13 inch wheels.  The setup work very well as I have a Wilwood proportioning valve to adjust front to rear effort to my driving style, or perhaps lack of.  One problem I have is that I use a 1980 Subaru Brat M/C to gain a dual chamber master, this has turned out to be the weak link.  While I got plenty of help from Wilwood Tech about setup, when I asked for then to recommend a dual chamber M/C I have not heard back and it’s been over a year.  I drive the car fairly regularly, it runs and stops great, brake pedal is soft on initial press of pedal.  Brakes have been bled several times and the M/C does not leak and no fluid has been lost.  I do need a line on a better Master.  The great is quite fast and I would say my stopping confidence for me driving is about 80 to 85% sat.  My son told me the pedal is too mushy for him.  My wife will not drive it yet, so just my oldest son and I have driven it.  So this needs attention.  I am still looking.  
The actual caliper setup with drums on the rear is awesome for street use and maybe when a new M/C is fitted something a little more, noting the car is very fast!
By the way I used Classic tube hard lines for the car except for the M/C connections in the engine bay to the valve, they are custom bent.  I would use this method again for another Tiger, but it would have to be Midnight Blue (58)!!!

Jim,

Have you had a large amount of driving experience with the front Wilwood and rear drum brake setup?
I am considering that same brake combination and also whether to convert the rear brakes to Wilwood disks with Dale's kit.
What I'm trying ta assess is how much better the front only conversion is in comparison to the stock Tiger brakes and also the full conversion to the front only Wilwood disks.  Any advice on what you may have learned would be very helpful.

Tiger listers:

I seem to continue to receive info from you folks.  I would  offer that as a former member of facebook, I utilize and appreciate and use this list almost daily, sometimes even add when I have something to offer.
As for social media, consider this, I closed my facebook account over 2 years ago when they were exposed conducting an experiment posting positive and negative info to selected facebook members as an unannounced experiment, really, I personally do not need to be part of this BS nor will I. 

Here is the result of your contributions to my restoration effort, a 1966 Mark1(a) Tiger with a modified 260, posit track rear-end, Wilwood front discs, stock rear drums, a really nice car, oh yes, Martha C. interior.
So thanks and let’s consider this one of the reasons to keep going.
