[QUOTE="Kilgon, post: 386352, member: 5840"] You could look for a donor car to pull the spindles and brakes from to use. Would make for getting parts a little more easier to obtain locally than having a specialty after market kit. During my rebuild I went ahead and replace all the brakes line. My car came from the factory with all drum manual brakes. When I went to change the pads that's when I found out that they were not the original. Somewhere along it's journey the front was swapped out for disc and a power booster was added. It became a guessing game as to what I needed to buy since I didn't know what type of car the calipers and pads came from. After popping open a few dozen boxes of calibers at my local PepBoys to try to find a match I struck gold. Was able to the determine that rotors, calipers and pads are a match for a 76 Granada. They did a descent job adding the power brake booster and new master cylinder. Brakes work great. [/QUOTE]
