Is there any way to put a larger brake caliper (from 72 on up) on a 69 brake

rotor?  If not, can you put on a whole 72 setup without changing everything?

 Is it even worth it?  (I have to change a bunch of stuff that went bad, so 
I thought that I might try it.)
-- Brake improvements (like bigger brakes) are always an improvement.

Wheels:
Will a 7" wheel work on a SB without fender adjustment?
-- Not that I'm aware of.  You would need a custom built rim to fit and I'm 
not sure how that would affect your backspacing and such.

Has anybody put in a three speed wiper motor out there?  Suggestions?
-- Nope, but sure would like to!

Has anybody used velour panels?  Tweed?  Are they reliable, and take some 
abuse?
-- Interior body panels have their plus and minuses when it comes to 
material.  Just get what suits your tastes.

This has probably been asked to death, but:  What is the best full flow oil 
filter?
GENE BERG, hands down.  Primarily since they are the only company that I 
know of who make a system for the T3.  Speaking of which, I just had my 
mechanic make me a mounting bracket for the filter, mounted to the left 
bumper mount.  You know, I should have gone for a degree in mechanical 
engineering...you should see the cool pulley lock I designed for removing 
the fan pulley (I will explain later, with photos).
Thanks..
