Re: [FWDLK] brake kits



Does the imperial have 14" or 15" wheels?  A friend did a rear disc upgrade on his '62
Newport but could not find a combo that would let him keep 14" wheels.  So
then you lose the ability to use the original wheelcovers.  If the Imp has 15" wheels, then
maybe you will be OK.  He did a rear disc setup on his car that he told me  he would not
recommend.  There is a Wilwood kit I believe but it is expensive.  And I can't remember if you
have to swap out the whole rear axle or not.

Regards,
Lou

The thought of up-grading brakes seems to be on my mind. Last year I had new wheel cyls & shoes for my 60 Imp. Earlier this year I had too replace the master cyl as well, & after all this work I am still not satisfied with the performance of the rebuilt brakes. I am seriously considering retro-fitting the car with -
1. duel master cyl
2. front disc's
3. if possible  rear disc's.
1&2 should not be a problem, but what will fit the rear axle disc brake wise????.Any input would be appreciated.
