I just took apart my KH 4 piston sbp calipers. Didnt really even inspect em,just chucked em in a bucket of diesel because I assumed they'd be stuck. Tonight I pulled 1/2 a caliper out and brought it the shop. Looked at pistons.Oh my ,thier shiny Im thinkin. Applied compressed air and had to duck as the 5000 grain bullet flew across the shop!. STAINLESS PISTONS! The baloon seals and o rings look great as well.

Someone must have installed a kit at one point because those calipers have been sitting for close to 12 years under my bench and they came out like butter.

So now Im liking the idea of staying with these brakes. But how can I convert them to BBP? Can I put a different hub on? Or just plug weld and drill for BBP?
 
I read something about using ford rotors to convert. Not enough meat to plug and tap.

A mustang rotor maybe?

Waggin,I think I'd like to keep these brakes. They would cost a lot to replace and get the same quality Im thinking.

I may be interested in a trade for some sbp pattern 15" steelies, if such a thing exists. I have 15x7 lbp cop rims with vented caps to offer. THat would keep my brake swap simple and allow me to use my parts I've already gathered
 
THanks for the link.

I remember seeing this thread now!
Doesnt seem to be any updates on the subject for a while.
