You know that you can bolt on any '65 to '82 Corvette disc brake system with
only a few problems.

The easy way is to get spindles, calipers, and rotors from the front of one,
then get complete trailing arms, rotors, spindles, etc from the rear.

On a '63 and I think '64, you then have to cut the rear rubber snubber mount
off, as it sticks outboard and hits the caliper. You can get the one from a
'65 up and weld on if you want/need it.

The '65 up frame has a indent in the frame to clear the caliper, but I think
most clear even on the '63 and '64 without the indent.

Then run the standard Corvette dual master cylinder. You can get all of it
for less than the price of this conversion and if you add a power booster,
you will pull your teeth off the windshield.

Of course, if you watch eBay, you can find an entire chassis and just trade,
so you don't even have to change snubber mounts. You will have to cut out
the kickup braces on a late '68 up chassis, though, to fit under a Sting
Ray.
