Disc brake swap

[Joekay]

Looking to do disc front brakes on my 66 newyorker. I have a lead on a 76 fury and 75 monaco. Would these spindles work?

I have a Scarebird kit for sale

 

[Joekay]

Ok i havent looked into this much yet as ive been spending all my car funds on engine stuff. What would you want for it.

Your 75 and 76 spindles will not work. To use factory parts you can keep your original spindles.

In addition to the scarebird kit offered above, I suggest you look up the threads on this site detailing disc brake swaps - there is critical info you should know to avoid hassles.

Here's the kit. It's currently installed on a junk 68 Fury I have. Surface rust. Clean up with sandpaper

Thanks for the info. I was on a limited time frame to get the answer and figured i would get a response quicker than i could research

But they may still occur.

Ha!!

I never had a single hassle with my 68 Monaco swap... which leads me to the conclusion that I was on borrowed time and only avoided DEATH by pure chance!

Do those fit 14" rims?

 

[Ross Wooldridge]

No

 

[LocuMob]

So I'd have to wait to install til the new rims show up whenever the current tires finally are done.

Complete front end rebuilds do it to me.

How does your wallet feel about the PTSD system?

Financially or physically?
