1968 A-Body Disc Brake Conversion
Hi
I am working on helping my brother change over his 1968 Buick Skylark from front drum brakes to disc brakes. (I know, it's not an Oldsmobile, but I'm told the spindles, etc are the same)
I have been looking at different disc brake conversion kits and it looks like none of these kits include the bracket that goes from the tie rod end to the spindle. Is this bracket reusable from the old drum brakes for the disc brakes or is a new bracket required?
The bracket I am referring to is circled here:

Thanks for the help!
