[Tigers] rear disc brake

[Theo Smit]

On my Tiger I currently have '95 Mustang (Cobra) rear discs and calipers. The main features that pulled me there was that the disc bolt pattern matched what I'm currently using (5 on 4 1/2) and that the calipers had cable parking brake actuation of the pads in addition to the hydraulic pistons. 
But those discs are too large for a 13 inch application. At the time I did the conversion, I traded in a set of '85-87 Toyota Corolla GT-S (AE86 series) rear disc calipers, which also had a cable parking brake. The Corollas of that era had 14 inch OEM wheels but I'm pretty sure some people used 13 inch wheels on them for autocross purposes. 
Toyota made approximately a zillion of those cars so they might still be a good aftermarket pick for a rear disc caliper.

I have. Dale's old kit. Works great. Fiat 124's are getting as rare as Tigers though, not 
a dime a dozen like in the '90s when Dale used their calipers.

has anyone recently tried the fiat 124 rear conversion, most things I have read were from years ago. my interest is in maintaining use of 13" wheels and I have a set of the fiat caliper/brackets..and car is used for street use only, limited auto cross
