    65 Fury disc brake conversion advice

    Thank you. I think the car may have a mild cam - that was before my time.

    65 Fury disc brake conversion advice

    UPDATE: Stainless Steel Brakes FINALLY sent my brakes! It took over 3 months - not the 3 weeks they promised. Long story short - the boost doesn't work. I called them for diagnostic assistance at which time they told me that cars from the 60's don't produce enough vacuum to power a modern...

    Do NOT Buy From Stainless Steel Brakes Inc!

    Wanted to convert my 1965 Sport Fury from manual drum brakes to power with front discs. After a lot of research, I decided to forego the long, arduous process of locating old parts from various years and models, and just going with a conversion kit from Stainless Steel Brakes, Inc. Yes, it was...

    Thanks! I saw that thread but no one there is running skirts.

    Wheel backspace question

    65 Sport Fury. I'm completing a disc brake conversion and can no longer run the 14" Magnum 500 wheels. Since I have to buy new wheels and tires, I'd like to go up to a 17x8 with 235/55/17 tires (or even a bit wider on the back if I can!). BUT - I'm keeping the skirts on. Does anyone know...

    Wheels

    Those wheels and tires look awesome! What offset did you choose in order to run 8" wheels with the skirts on?

    65 Fury disc brake conversion advice

    Stainless Steel Brakes told me, the first time I checked and they responded, that they were building my brakes. 3 weeks later, I've finally learned they can't find a producer for the boosters. They are trying to convince me that non-power disc brakes are awesome and soooo much better than my...

    65 Fury disc brake conversion advice

    UPDATE: 6 weeks and NOTHING from Stainless Steel Brakes. Not even a response to my inquiry a few days ago. When I ordered they said 3-4 weeks to RECEIVE. At my 3.5 week inquiry they said another 1-2 weeks. Now at 6 weeks - crickets. Starting to think I've been had. Is this a real...

    65 Fury disc brake conversion advice

    Well, 5 weeks and $1500 later still no brakes. When I ordered I was told I would have them in 3-4 weeks. 3 weeks later I was told they would SHIP in another 1-2 weeks. 3 weeks later again and nothing... I'll let you know if I finally get brakes and if they actually bolt on without...

    Thin Stripe Whitewall Sources

    Diamondback has just about anything you can think of. I got rid of the Coker gold lines on my Vette and went to Diamondback gold lines. BIG improvement!

    65 Fury disc brake conversion advice

    From your lips to God's ears! So far NOTHING made to fit this car has actually been bolt-on without having to change or modify something else. I guess I got spoiled on my '65 Stingray where every single part on the car is available from multiple sources and fits perfectly. I'll think...

    65 Fury disc brake conversion advice

    The starter and battery cable were for header installation. The Saginaw power steering pump required new bracket, pully, hoses and fittings. However, the Saginaw pump has the high pressure line connecting at the back bottom of the pump which was less than 1/2" from the engine mount bracket -...

    65 Fury disc brake conversion advice

    I took the "easy" way out and ordered the complete conversion kit from Stainless Steel Brake Co. I'll let you know how it goes. Hopefully better than the Saginaw power steering pump conversion (from TRW) which requires you to cut the engine mount (they neglect to tell you that part) or the...

    65 Fury disc brake conversion advice

    I'd like to convert my 65 Sport Fury to disc brakes for drive ability and safety. Does anyone make a "kit" or is there a known supplier who can provide the needed parts as a whole? I don't want to start piece-mealing it and end up with mid-matched parts requiring modification and resulting...
