Re: IML: disc brake kit

["bill parker" <hemirr@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Not claiming to be a tech expert here, but you can get a correct disc brake 
conversion kit for your '66 from AAJ Brakes, it uses '70's Ford pickup 
rotors which have the 5.5X5 bolt pattern of our stock wheels.  I just got 
the last parts together from NAPA for my '65 conversion, the specified hoses 
took a few days to get and are technically discontinued, at least with NAPA. 
 I test assembled the calipers to the AAJ brackets and everything looks 
good, so hopefully I'll do the whole conversion soon.  I may not have saved 
anything by buying the service parts locally compared to the AAJ price of a 
complete kit.  I bought only the AAJ adaptor pieces to hopefully save on 
shipping everything else, but I think the total added up to about the same 
as it would have been even with shipping.  Also, the AAJ parts shopping list 
left out the banjo bolts which did not come with the calipers, but NAPA had 
those in stock.  It will be a bit of a time saver for me as I previously 
converted my drum system to a dual master cylinder, so my lines are correct 
already, and I have a junction point to add an adustable proportioning 
valve.
