Did some of the brake conversion today. Removed all the old crap and installed the caliper mounts and aluminum hubs.

Then on went the rotors and the calipers. This kit fit absolutely perfect didn't have to do anything except clean the area a little and bolt it on.

Looks real good behind my Americans, the master cylinder is huge took an entire pint of fluid to fill.
Now I'm waiting for a 25' roll of brake line to come so I can rebuild all the front lines.

which kit did you buy and what was the cost with the drilled rotors?

jag1886

They only make one kit for the A-body and it was $825 complete. Thats cross drilled rotors, huge M/C, residual valve for the rear brakes, hold off valve for the front brakes, tig welded brackets, new calipers that use the large old D-52 type pads. It fit perfect I just had to build a couple of new brake lines.
I just got back from a 500 mile trip through the mountains and these brakes work, they absolutely turned an old car into a much more modern car.

I purchased my front and rear brake lines from inline tube and they were almost an exact fit after trying to bend my own with a lot of headaches.
