: I have a car with hydraulic brakes and would like to upgrade ...the car is using 40 Ford brakes now...I would like more stopping power...has anyone ever seen disc brakes on original wheels?Or has anyone ever found a better drum conversion? I just don't seem to get the stopping power with the 40 units.
Joel,
I know of at least two members in the Dallas MAFC that have disc brakes on their A's and use original wire wheels.Ron Kelly "The Best Little Engine Builder in Texas" has them on his '30 roadster pickup.You might contact him about how he did his.I'm pretty sure he did all the machine work himself.
His phone no. is (972)771-1911
