Thread: Who has replaced front drums with discs and no power brakes---and ran them??

Tweet

So---Today I ordered up a complete front disc brake set-up for the roadster pickup, from Hortons in Milton. Rotor & hub combination, calipers, pucks, brackets to mount calipers, bearings, spindle bearing adapters, and requisite nuts and bolts. This is to go on '40 Ford spindles which are currently running '40 drums and shoes. and the price for purchase, Goods and Service tax, sales tax, and shipping??--Step back---step way back----$874.00. Yeeouch!!! Damn that hurt...

Lot of money yes! But if you can stop quicker and shorter you can save that and more if you ever need to stop quickly in an emergency situation. It's money well spent where it counts.
