Disk Brake Conversion Discussion
I think we have had a terrific discussion here about improving our braking system, with a lot of input. I, for one, want to go the dual MC/Power Booster route and disk brakes. Finding a working bracket for an AC equipped Squarebird seems to be the drawback. They are out there, but some companies don't seem to want to sell you just the mounting bracket. But it looks like we are getting close to finding one that will work for us.
Gary, if you don't mind me asking, whose dual MC/Power Booster system are you going to put on your Tbird? Yours is a '60 Tbird with the original single mc and booster, as I recall. I gather this new dual unit is coming with a new mounting bracket. If so, can you do us all a favor,take and post really good pictures of it in different orientations, and the measurements? If push comes to shove, we might be able to have our own mounting bracket made using yours as the master. We could publish that in the Technical Resource Library for those of us who come after us to use if they want to do this conversion.
