SBP disc brake conversion

slmiller243 said

I have a 69 Barracuda with 10" drum brakes that I want to convert to disc on the front. I have spent hours reading posts and articles on this. I used to have a great write up on this but can't find it. I have a set of spindles, control arms and backing plates from a late 60's/early 70's disc brake A body car. I always seem to find that it is the little stuff that make projects like this difficult. My question is, what parts do I need that I can't buy from a parts store i.e rotors, calipers, master cylinder, proportining valve etc.? Is there a bracket I need for the caliper? Or am I better off SBBC kit?

You will need the Kelsey Hayes caliper adapter bracket, specific K-H rotor hats, specific K-H caliper mounting bolts, calipers with the retaining clips, proper K-H caliper cross-over fluid tube, new brake flex lines, pads, wheel bearings and the correct seals (inner and outer).

All of this available on the internet. Look at the Moparts technical site for exact K-H parts - aftermarket vendor numbers - for the calipers, pads, brake hoses, rotors, bearings and seals.

Also the Mopar Action website has info. on swithcing your car to LBP, as this may be the cheaper way to go.

You could sell your SBP stuff and go LBP for less...
