LMFAO in all fairness when you look at nova brakes that is exactly the application they were designed for that springs to mind.

Although we may be looking at this all wrong!

Are we sure this isnt a standard fitment, and GM sourced the brakes for the nova from a horse and cart company? lol

offer him a set of 6330MM disks & endless 76 pots with blue stuff pads - they'll fill the wheel void

seriously the pro carriage racers use go kart brakes & they work independantly for handbrake turns without tipping them over
