Greatly appreciated.

R 70 Judge,
What Kanter parts specifically did you use and, how did they work out for you?
I do see a full front disc conversion kit that just states it fits a full size Pontiac years 1959 - 1970. Is this what you used? Curious if that'll work on a 63 Lemans. I may just give them a call.

Thanks -joe
Pretty sure I went with their full "super" bushing rebuild kit.. $639. I didn't end up using every piece of it since I converted to a rack and pinion set up. https://www.kanter.com/productdetail...Router=Gallery

I haven't seen the Kanter disc kit before so I don't know anything about it. I used the Wilwood kit with 63Longtops brackets. I'd personally go with the Wilwood set up or one of Scarebirds kits I was you.

Pretty much everything you would need to know regarding building a 63 Tempest is available if you search and dig a little here in this section. These cars are not cheap to build so prepare yourself lol

This list could possibly be outdated but this is what I ordered way back when I did my conversion.

2)Earl's#63010114 flex line
2)Earl's#961603 pipe to AN adapter
2)Earl's#989543 tubing adapter
10) Mr. Gasket#4311 studs
1)Strange Engineering#B3359 master cyl.
1)Wilwood#140-0261B brake kit

Seriously though, you should reach out to board member xitmnt2 (the first link of my last post) and ask him if he still has my old k-member setup. It was VERY nice and all brand new. He's in PA so he can't be that far away from you.
