Disc Brake Conversion on C2

The only thing I remember that hindered the change was the emergency
brake cable bracket on the trailing arm. Had to cut it off from front
side of arm and move it to the top. The track on a disc brake car is
slightly wider, 1/2 - 3/4", than drums.

Good luck with the change, it will amaze you.

Oh, you want an emergency brake? Half of them in disc brakes don't work, or
at least not enough to ever stop you.

If you have a '64, it is easy. The pulley setup is the same as '65 and '66
on the front half and you need to get the rear cable for the '65 or '66.

For a '63, you have to do some creative changing.

Kickstart, I called VB&P yesterday and they didn't have any conversion kits
for the '63. They knew all about the Stainless Steel & Brake Corp. kit
though and said that it is an excellent kit because it has great stopping
power and is a direct bolt-in. I've placed my order. Thanks to everyone for
the great advice and feedback. - StingRay

sell.
