Can someone please guide me to a supplier for a front disc brake conversion kit for my 1964 Catalina.
Thanks Alex in New Zealand ![]() |

I don't mean to question what you are asking for but are you sure it's a Catalina, not a Parisienne or Laurentian?
Same body styles, Catalina is from America, Parisienne & Laurentian is from Canada. I only ask because I'm thinking if you used the Canadian names on this forum, you might not get an answer - because a lot of our American friends know hardly anything about the Canadian cars. In my experiance anyway.. Parisienne's & Laurentian's were shipped as new cars to New Zealand and sold there in small numbers. A Catalina would have been a private import. If its a Canadian car, I have some contacts for you. If its a true Catalina, I'll leave any advice to others with more knowledge than me. Cheers Ian ![]() ![]() ![]()

Ditto on Scarebird. I put his disc conversion kit on my 65 Cat and it was easier then changing the brake shoes.

Hiya John
We've got a place near Byron Bay at Salt on the Tweed Coast. Don't get there often enough unfortunately. Took the Impala to Wintersun back in 2009. |
