Master power disc brake upgrade
I have a 1966 Pontiac Star Chief executive four-door. It came factory with power brakes but I got a kit to convert to disc brakes.
I don't know if I was maybe sent the kit or what. All the holes in the brackets and hardware is 1/2 inch stuff and my factory bolts I removed are 7/16 Has anybody else ever installed their kit and had this same issue? Here's the video showing the difference https://youtu.be/yFGQ_pU8EEU |

Any particular name of the company that made the kit? Or supplied it?

Any particular name of the company that made the kit? Or supplied it? I think I'd be contacting them.

1959-66 all have 7/16" lower holes as yours does. 1967-68 are 1/2".
I would make them send you the right kit. |

I know on at least one of the disc kits I have put on other cars that I was instructed to drill the holes out to 1/2". But as I said it was specifically part of the instructions, not a mystery they left me with.

Having to drill out the spindle and cross arm is bull****.
Not an easy task - far easier for the supplier to make them 7/16 holes and drill if needed. |

I spoke with the manufacturers this morning and sent them a video. They're sending me the correct parts and hopefully they'll be updating their website to show the correct applications

Nice to hear. I've considered them as a possible option down the road so hoping they treat you right.

Just curious, did you get the standard legend series kit or did you upgrade to the HP legend series?
