1961 Plymouth Fury disk brake conversion

[Glenner]

Hi everyone, first post, be gentle. I have a '61 Plymouth Fury 2 dr ht, and I'm considering a conversion from front drum brakes to front disk brakes. I'd like to use Wilwood, but after checking on their website I see they have no kit for my car. I called them and was informed that if I could find '65 Fury spindles and install them on my car, they could help me with the rest.
So, my questions are, has anyone done such a conversion on this car, do '65 spindles even fit my car, does anyone know a good source for these spindles, and does anyone have any suggestions about the whole issue?
Thanks to all your expertise. Glenn

There are a couple other 61 Plymouth owners on the site here. My 61 Fury convertible and Stephs 61 fury hardtop, (check the "forward look" thread).
You might check the Forward Look forum for advice about disc conversions. There are some there that have already done it and can help you out with technical information.

5th Ave spindles should work with some tweaking.

My previous '61 fury was converted to front disc brakes. If you google disc brake conversions for '61 fury you might get more imformation and were to get a kit it never hurts to try My dad had another rear end put on it with bigger rear brakes with better stopping.

i wounder if the 75 imp disc spindles would fit those control arms , it uses a arm mounted ball joint as well . hell could do rear disc's as well . need a parts car for the rest of that jazz . i've got a 64 300 k it could use disc's on it .
