DISC BRAKES ON A '62

[FLY 9999]

What do I need to know the drum to disc conversion? Factory parts doable? Thanks

Scarebird makes caliper brackets for '62 Plymouths and Dodges. Don't know what rotors and calipers they call for though. Their kit for my '55 Plymouth uses Ford Probe rotors and Chevy S-10 calipers.

I have a set of F,M,J body spindles for $100 + ship,add 3% for PP fee's.

I used the F, M, J body parts on my '62. No problems.

The swap can easily be done using stock mid 70's "A" body parts.... and its a whole lot cheaper than some commercially available kits. This is a '75 Dodge Dart disk brake setup on my '64. Steering knuckles and caliper mounts were wrecking yard pieces, the rest of the parts are direct from Rock Auto.

I'll add my vote for Dr Diff.

I used Porsche twin turbo brakes on my '65.
