Thread: Best front disc brake setup

Tweet

If you are on a budget and cannot afford Wilwood brakes, there is a much less expensive alternative. I used this kit on my '29 Ford roadster twenty years ago. It is available from Speedway. I had the brackets chrome plated.

One IMPORTANT thing that rumrumm did not mention is ...
Parts for that conversion are WAY more available ... if your car has a brake problem hundreds of miles away from home.

I have a spare set of Wilwood pads, bearings and races for mine ... that travel with me.
But IF I had a rotor failure, a wheel bearing that killed the rotor or any other SERIOUS brake issue ( caliper failure ) ... I will have a LOT more difficult time finding the parts when out in Bum Rap Arizona on the way to or from a rod run.



I took this photo ... on the way back home to the Carolinas on my last trip to Los Angeles for the LA Roadster show.
