not sure if this will work for you or not - https://classicoldsmobile.com/forums...earchid=342084 if not, search, advanced search, keyword disc conversion - looks like it's been discussed a few times - and welcome!

1967 olds full size brakes

GM "A" Body -- Olds cutlass / 442 -- Disc Brake Conversion Kits are made by 12 different outlets..... No one has done a full size because there A) aren't enough who would cosider it and B) it is believed that there is enough stopping power in that they are 11" Drums, etc., not little 9 1/2"s.

I have everything NEW -- for your brake system -- the Master Cylinder, the Wheel Cylinders, the Brake Hoses, the Brake Shoes -- in ASBESTOS!! --, American made Wheel Bearings & Seals, and the BRAKE DRUMS BRAND NEW -- Front & rear -- and even 1 Front HUB & DRUM!!!!!!!

I do have some N.O.S. +++ Original KELSEY - HAYES +++ Front ROTORS for the 1967 - 1968 (and 1969 - 1970) FULL SIZE OLDSMOBILES -- but not the rest of those factory disc brake parts ----- and you sure wouldn't convert it to that set up -- that would be a monster mistake......

Call me anytime --- Craig -- 516 - 485 - 1935, New York...........

Guy out in Nevada has been fabricating them for several years too.

Biggest problem is that none of them work with factory 14" wheels.


You've probably got some guys here who'll be interested in your 67-70 big car rotors.
