Guys, don’t be jealous. I know this is top notch stuff but figured I’d just share my amazing steering and braking setup.

Yes yes I will consider selling it to you for a price… but I’m just warning you it’s too much…

The pure enjoyment of locking up the front driver side brakes with a gentle tap shows me the power of my setup, as me and my family spin into a donut twirl, a big grin appears on my face. Pure engineering genius of sprinkling a little grease into my drums from the exercise of my suspension… oh the thrill

That's some quality stuff there. 9 inch or 10? I believe there's a disc kit available for 10 inch drum spindles!

Definitely jealous

I've had quite a few nice set-ups like that- throw on some bias ply's and you'll be amazed.
 
There’s no way I would pay for a disk conversion that reuses the 9” drum spindle. Not a chance.

Undersized wheel bearings, undersized lower ball joint to spindle bolts, both of which had plenty of failures. Nope.

Especially not when you can get a 73+ mopar disk conversion with the spindles for less than the wilwood kit. Can’t run the stock drum wheels with the wilwood kit anyway.

Who sells the kit you're referring too? Would it fit a 67 Barracuda?

I agree.....but Wilwood sho nuff sells a kit that utilizes the 9" spindle. lol I'm not sure I'd use that even on the lightest of race only cars. In fact, I know I wouldn't because LAWD KNOWS I wouldn't want a broken spindle goin 130 plus. That might suck. lol
