Re: [FWDLK] 60 disc brake conversion kit?

Check out a 3rd way of converting to front disc brakes with the Stainless
Steel Brakes Corp conversion:

You can check out the original of the other Imperial List articles by going
to the source and scrolling down to "Crossram Motors Projects" and "Tech":

They also have a rear disc conversion. My car has had both front and rear
converted. The front conversion alone helped the car stop straight and
increased the stopping power slightly and reduced fade. The rear disc brake
conversion added after the front was converted made the world of difference.

All these front disc brake conversions are based on Dart/Valiant, Mustang
etc disc brakes that were not designed to stop 4600 lb cars. The rear set up
is from a 1988 Turbo Thunderbird, a heavy rear wheel drive car with a lot of
power. The limiting factor are the 14" wheels. You may need station wagon
wheels to clear. My car had no problem because it has the original Letter
Car wheels which were the same as station wagon wheels.
