Ordered My Disc Brake Conversion Kit

Hey Eric great to see you are on board. Your kit was great and I do love my new disc brake conversion kit and as you say the crush sleeve does work very good and saves money and timely work over changing the upper control arms. The problem that Joe is referring to though is the lock nut that holds the new spindle to the small upper ball joint, even though mine is tight and torqued to 60 lbs it still has the appearance of being loose. Not that I think it will ever loosen up or that I will have a problem with it. it just does not look like most of the guy's are comfortable with. One of our members drilled a small hole through the nut and installed a cotter key in it just for safety sake. But that seems to be the only issue with your brake conversion kit and like I stated earlier this was an easy and well engineered kit and I am very happy with it. Once again great to have you on board and if any of you members are thinking about a disc brake conversion kit and want to keep your small bolt pattern wheels this is the kit.
Thanks
Bob
What I ended up doing was putting on a grade 8 fender washer, grinding down a little of the castle nut and drilling out the ball joint slightly to get a cotter pin in. The locking flange nut was never going to work, the threads of the ball joints barely met the lock area, maybe with red locktite. Still not 100% happy with the outcome there. Actually tomorrow the car is going to the upholstery shop to have the vinyl top, headliner and windshields reinstalled. From there it's heading to my mechanic for a front end alligment, we'll see if he has any comments on that. So with all this said the farthest the car has driven was in a circle around my development.
The rotors took a lot of work to stop the rubbing. But again it hasn't really seen the road yet.
