wilwood drum to disc brake conversion

-
That is the exact kit I put on my 65 Cuda. The only thing is I havn't driven the car yet, but as far as fit goes it was perfect.

That drum is on a 9" drum spindle and the disc kit must use 10" drum spindle. The drum is attached to the hub. When you sepate the two the drum usually gets ruined.
 
1971 dart, I also want to do the conversion. Any tips would be apreciated. Thanks....
 
The Drum is not attached on the old barke set up. The disc is attached on the willwood set up

You must use the 10" drum spindles and you also get the larger 4.5 bolt pattern, so now you must change the rear end to the 4.5 BP. Just bolt it together it's easy. I would also recomend new upper & lower ball joints and check the rest of the front end out at the same time. You must also use new front brake lines supplied by Wilwood.

One other thing I forgot to mention is you must use 15" wheels with these. This pic I have 16" wheels on the car.

Yes it will, I'd say your ready to bolt it on.
 
Yes I am also looking into putting Wilwood's on all 4 corners. I have disc on the front now and in talking to Wilwood at the PRI show,the guy told me that the kit for cars that allready have front disc brakes has been discontinued.

So that means that I have to find some 10" drum spindles if I want to use their front kit.

For the rears I am going with the kit with the parking brake inside the rotor.
