Disk conversion - 5/11/2008 11:52:22 AM    pasco6363 Posts: 3 Joined: 5/10/2008 Status: offline This lovely '66 coupe spent 40 of its 42 years in sunny California until it came to Canada. I've only had it for a few weeks. Not exactly greener pastures for her but she'll never see a winter. I'm sort of starting from scratch and was wondering what a good source would be for a front disc conversion kit. I'm told I should have a dual line master cylinder and maybe a power booster while I'm at it. I do have a US address so I wouldn't ahve to ship cross-border.

If you're planning on going with 17" wheels, there are other options for larger discs, such as Mustangsteve.com _____________________________ If you're reading this, thank a Teacher.
