Has anyone out there tried mounting a wilwood or brembo universal caliper to a stock 1200 strut?

Wilwood Dyna lites will fit over the solid rotor. What you will have to do is make a carrier. On our open wheel car it used VW Rabbit uprights , it was simply a matter of drilling holes in flat aluminum and milling out the proper shape for clearance.

Thanks for the help, I think I might try that instead of doing an entire strut swap.

strut swaps aren't hard.
you can get better pads but the little solid rotor will get hot.

can't go wrong with the wilwoods.
