Disc Brake Conversion on A100
The other thing I did on my A100 was to add a remote vacuum booster - sits just behind the driver's side wheel housing...tucked up out of harms way.
The hoses recommended by Scarebird are junk - Chevy parts, and both are different side to side. Ended up having custom hoses made and Russell fittings installed etc for the new brake hard lines that were fabbed by my buddy here 'Dr Phil'. More than an afternoon's work, but the results are outstanding.
Disadvantage of disc brakes, is that the factory sway bar does not work with the additional bracketry for the backing plate. I will eventually get a custom sway bar made locally.
