My 64 has those tiny little 9" drums all the way around. I'll worry about the back brakes later, but for now I want to convert to front disc. Has anyone used the manual conversion kit from Right Stuff Detailing? I need a complete kit and this one seems to have pretty much everything I need (pic below). If you've used this kit, I have some questions...
1. What do you think about the quality of the kit?
2. Does it use standard B body pads when I need replacements?
3. If I get the manual kit, can I just remove the stock booster (car currently has power brakes, wanting to convert to manual) and bolt the kit to the firewall using the stock brake pedal and linkage to master cylinder?
4. If the answer to #3 is no, what other parts would I need to find to convert to manual brakes?
5. What wheel back spacing would I need to keep the wheels/tires centered? Equal (i.e. 3.5" on a 7" wheel) or offset towards the inside or outside?
Thanks for any info you can share on this kit.
