I also have a conversion for Rear Disk Brakes also and that kit is $595.00
The key point in finding the rims are:Ĭenter hole 2 ¾” to keep the hub a perfect fit over the rotor (Hub-Centric)Īnd the key identifier of the rim is the ‘pinch’ marks in the rim surface. The 14” rims were not too hard to find at a wrecking yard that has been in business at least since the 1970’s era. Some information on getting wheels that will work with this kit

Price for this conversion kit is $595.00 plus shipping and handling. You will notice on the bottom there is also an adjustable proportioning valve which you need (an extra $40.00) when you have disc in front and drum in the rear.īelow is a listing of all the parts included in the kit Once again the only thing you do not get is the spindle.Ībove is a picture of what you all get. This is what the assembled unit looks like from the backside. The rotor is an 11" rotor so that it will provide plenty of braking power for these heavy cars. However some that will fit are late 70's 14" such as torino and ranchero. You will have to look at the offset to determine if they will interfere with the caliper. There are numerous 14" wheels that will work. You cannot however use your stock 14" wheels. With this conversion you do not have to disturb any of your suspension nor steering. Remove everything except for the spindle and the rest is provided. You use your stock spindle and suspension. (I have provided these in the photo to show you what it will look like on your car.) This conversion includes everything you see in the photo EXCEPT the spindle and nut. (photo is of a 1962 spindle installation, all others are very similiar) However the aftermarket Roadster wire wheels will work but you must let me know you are going to use them so that I can turn down the center hub on the rotors to fit the center of the wheel. Stock Kelsey Hayes wire wheels will not fit The stock 14" wheels cannot be used with this kit.
