Thread: Disc brakes for light weight early Ford?

Tweet

I'll probably get spanked for even bringin' this up, but at 1600 lbs, I might be visiting some of the motorcycle boneyards to eyeball front disc setups from some of the bigger bikes, Harley, Gold Wing Honda, Moto Guzzi, etc. and use discs on all four corners with a proportioning valve to cut pressure to the rears. These are non-power systems and should be the ultimate in simplicity and effectiveness. A little shy about the effectiveness? No problem, make brackets to mount two calipers on each rotor at the front and one caliper on each at the back.

Now don't start whinin' about the engineering and machine work involved. It is one possibility that I personally would look at, 'cause engineering and fabricating such a system might not be for you, but it would be right up my alley and would give me huge braggin' rights down at the Sonic.
