'66 442 Disc Brakes

I would like some advice. I am considering putting power disc brakes on my car. Supercars Unlimited lists the stock parts for the '67 brakes set up. It is not important to me that the parts be Oldsmobile original as long as they are good quality and not made in China. Has anyone used the stock Olds parts and do you have any advice for the install? Has anyone used parts other than Olds and if so what were they and who was the supplier?

Thanks

Pat Mills

Thanks Wes - you moved since we last talked. My car has just sat for the last while - am wanting to do some more projects - thinking about a 6 speed Tremac , power steering, the power disc conversion, new coils and shocks, and so on.

Hi Pat
If you'll read through this thread it may give you some more ideas. I've done this swap several times, plus adding power steering can really make driving these cars more pleasant. John

I like this company's stuff because you can use your original spindles and their conversion does not set the wheels out (closer to the fender lip). The hub is a thing of beauty, pity it is not seen when the job is finished.
