Re: [FWDLK] That's the Brakes...

[Tony Rinaldi <awrdoc@xxxxxxxxx>]

Stainless Steel Brakes makes a disc brake conversion for the '60 axle that
uses '88 Turbo TB discs that accepts emrgency brake cables from Lokar. The
front cable fits into the existing e-brake foot pedal with the use of
washers to engage the mechanism.
