66 monaco disk brake conversion

[monaco]

I hope I'm not asking the same question someone else has asked but here go's. I'm looking for some help on how to convert my front drums on my 66 monaco to disk brakes. I would like to use oem parts if it's possible. Any suggestions?

1973 Spindles, rotors, calipers c-body from what I have seen here will do the trick.

Does anybody know if this will also work for a 65 custom 880? I've soent a lot of time researching and have gotten no where. Appreciate any help in the matter. Thanks

I think it will work since it is essentially the same car.

In both cases. converting to dual M/C is in order which requires a M/C with the disc reseviour and a proportioning valve either a factory one from a reclaimers or a custom one that you can dial in.

Install a '67 Chrysler disc brake M/C.

I went out and bought a 73 fury just so I could do a disc brake conversion on my 65. The fury cost me 250 bucks. That will get me the spindles and splash shields as well as any core exchange parts needed. Check you local salvage yards. Like mentioned, the spindles are the most important piece.

I did some reading on this and the least expesive is the way Catfish recommends, if you can find a good cheap 73 donor.

C body drydock has a tech article with all the right part numbers listed.

Quicker and more expensive is a bolt on kit like they did at Hot Rod.

OR the Allstar ALL48025 would work just as well. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006K8L3JI?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=od_aui_detailpages00
