Just got my car yesterday...a 57 two-door post Belair. The truck hauling it arrived 20 hours early...lucky I was home! No motor/tranny/radiator. My question is this: does anybody know of a front disc brake conversion that will fit with the stock 14-inch wheels? I want to keep the stock spindles and use stock or near stock looking hubcaps, but if possible I'd like front discs. McGaughey's told me their 10.5 inch rotor requires 15 inch wheels. Someone told me that SSBC has a kit that will work. Has anyone done this? Or should I just bite the bullet and get a set of 15-inch Cragars...

Hey Garlock welcome to the very exclusive club of trifive owners, you didn't list your e-mail address or I would send a tech article covering this conversion, sorry I don't know how to attach things to this site. I have five articles on this subject if you care to e-mail me.
Regards Bob

Places like Danchuk or Classic Chevy sell 14 inch wheels that accept stock wheel covers and fit over the disc brake calipers.
