Eliminate those archaic ball bearings and gain first class stopping power all at once with this front disc brake conversion kit. Rotors and caliper brackets bolt onto your original spindles with no modification or machining required. Calipers mount to the front of the spindle. This disc brake kit will increase the total front track width by 1-3/4" (7/8” per side). Uses 11" rotors and 1969-72 GM calipers (7/16"-20 inlets) May not clear some 14" wheels Bolts onto stock '55-'57 spindles with no machine work Includes rubber brake hoses Charts (PDF) Installation Tips This kit will not work with the original '55-'64 Chevy 4-wheel drum brake master cylinder. It does not have the capacity to supply the proper amount of pressure for front disc brakes. For best results, we recommend using master cylinder booster kit 910-31974 (disc/drum) or 910-35557 (disc/disc) with this front disc brake conversion. Front drum-to-disc brake conversions also require a proportioning valve to be installed in the rear brake line circuit. The proportioning valve modulates pressure to the rear brakes which is necessary to prevent the rear brakes from locking up in an emergency stop situatiuon. Recommended master cylinder booster kits 910-31974 and 910-35557 incude an adjustable proportioning valve to allow for a proper installation of front disc brakes. Some grinding to the steering arms may be required to achieve full turning radius. If using the slide pins in the kit you must push the bushing/spacer out of the caliper ears to allow it to fit and some force will be required to get it past the rubber seal to allow the threads to engage into the bracket.

Easy to install. Had fun doing it.. Yes, I recommend this product. Great customer service! Rated by mike on November 10, 2021 Summary: the disc conversion kit I bought was nice to be bundled with all I needed, however the instructions were hard to interpret and old school. In fact the instructions did not take into account that the calipers had a bushing that was not necessary in all applications. I had to call tech support to figure that out. Yes, I recommend this product. Good fit and easy to install, makes a big difference. Rated by Chiefkeen on November 02, 2021 Summary: Replaced my original drum brakes with this kit, all parts included, only minor modification required. I had already installed a dual master cylinder, for safety purposes, and it worked well with the new disc brakes. Yes, I recommend this product. Awesome kit . On time delivery.
