    disc/drum conversion

    My thanks to all who have followed this "soap opera". I am not a newbie, since I have been building cars for over 50 years. I consider the brake upgrade only a slight modification. I have also tried searches over on the HAMB. More confusion than help. It is more difficult to navigate the site...

    Cartouche Upholstery

    Just to add some extra thoughts. I did a 53 chevy (sorry guys) a few years ago. I wanted some original material. I asked Lebaron Bonney for samples - not even close. Someone suggested Originalautointeriors - they were spot on. They included their complete interiors price list - quite reasonable...

    disc/drum conversion

    Sorry that I haven't posted any updates for a while. Long story. The master cylinder was bad. It came from Skip White Performance. A series of mis-communications, but I did receive the replacement just today. The new one is obviously better quality. I will try to give an update in a few days...

    disc/drum conversion

    Thanks Charlie. It is hard when you just like old cars all the way from purist to total customs. You are right though, I should take the question to the HAMB.

    disc/drum conversion

    Catching up myself. I have started cleaning up a lot of my extra stuff - not just ford. I sold a bunch on ebay and have some listings now and more to follow. I probably won't make it to Pate either.

    46 project leftovers

    Finishing up my 46 Ford project., I seem to have acquired a bunch of extra – some new, some used. I have tried to price everything low, rather than have it sit in the corner of the shop gathering dust. I use USPS when possible for shipping. 1. I have a 59AB crankshaft from a 46 ford. It has...

    disc/drum conversion

    I usually try to make my experiences (good and bad) available to others. I will continue to report on the progress of this situation. The speed bleeders are a great idea, and I would recommend them. I have long used a vacuum pump. It makes it easier for a one man operation. That is why this has...

    disc/drum conversion

    Thanks guys. The booster and MC are mounted in the area below the floor where the original mc would be. I will try to get a picture of it. The prop valve is a common setup for disc/drum systems. There is a 2 lb. residual forward and 10 lb. to the rear. I bench bled the mc first and then...

    disc/drum conversion

    I apologize if this has been covered, but my search found little info. I am building a 46 for tudor deluxe. I am using speedway's front disc conversion, and stock drum rear brakes. This kit uses the 73-77 ford p.u. rotors and 71-76 chevy calipers. This allows the use of 15" ford p.u. wheels. I...
