Re: For Thoese Doing Disk Brakes. 60-66

I'm going to do a disc brake upgrade w/dropped spindles this weekend. I decided to go with Early Classic Enterprises kit for a couple of reasons, first being that all the components are made in the USA which is important to me, no import stuff! The spindles are cast by Early Classics and the rest of the parts are from Raybestos and Federal Mogul. The second reason is you keep the factory components, no swapping out tie-rods, ball joints or control arms to work with the new spindles. Makes the job easier. I plan to document the install so stay tuned...

Backing plates painted and brakes assembled ready for install.





Master cylinder semi assembled waiting to be bench bled.






Brake install complete, the only problem I ran into was my stock wheels did not clear the calipers. Once I pre-assembled most of the parts, the install took about 5 hours. You will also need a brake line bender tool, wheel bearing grease and of course brake fluid, other then that the kit came with everything needed right down to the cotter pins.
