Another source for disk brakes
In the latest HPP magazine, there's a blurb about this company: http://www.braketechsolutions.com/. They're now offering a disk brake kit for '58-64 big cars, based on the '69-'70 big car factory disk brake setup. The price is $1,350 which is not cheap, but it does include a master cylinder and booster.
The thing I'm wondering about is if they'll sell the rotors separately...if they are in fact the same as the factory '69-'70 rotors it would be a good deal, as I understand those parts have been real hard to find these days. |

I talked to a brake vendor at Norwalk last year who did not offer B body systems but recommended these guys. Sounded good to me. They are in a good part of the world. Price is not out of line.

RE: Brake kits
There is another company that sells complete front and rear kits...
It is Direct Fit Brakes and they are out of Glendale AZ. They sell quite a few kits on e-bay and the full size Pontiac kits are going for about $1060.00. Here's there web address.. www.dfbrakes.com I read a couple of other threads on a few different websites and from what I can see they seem to be pretty good all around... quality and service...

This is great news, I'm in the market for a disc brake kit for my GP. I have 4 drums with no booster or master cylinder... I'm definitely going to inquire about this one.

So I went ahead and ordered a front wheel disc conversion kit. It will be shipped out Monday morning. I'm going to try to bribe my brother with a case of beer to help me out with this. I will attempt to take and post install pictures as well as completed pictures when it's done.
