drum to disk brakes

[fs93543]

Im going to remove my old brakes and installing disk brakes, but wondering how you guys did yours, did you buy a kit or replace them from a more modern car?

I utilized a kit from "Master Power Brakes" when I replaced the drum brakes on the front of my '73 Grande. The kit included everything but required the reuse of the existing spindles.

It worked out very well.

I used a set of factory brakes from a 72 vert. on my 71 mach. I rebuilt them using stock components that i bought from NAPA, advance auto, auto zone and places like that. I believe Don from OMS has a few sets of stock spindles on stock. Might want to check with him if you want to go the factory route. I like the factory brakes cause they are very easy to work on and parts are easy to get for them. I put in new bearings, seals, calipers, rotors, hoses, hardware, and dust sheilds and i think i had about 250-300 into it total.

I used a setup from a 95 with a conversion kit. Kept my costs down.

I did this conversion on 72 vert and My current Grande. The used OEM is the easyist route. Then if You go to power assist everything matches.
