 Post subject: disc brake conversion
PostPosted: Thu Jun 28, 2001 10:17 pm 
Doc Want to swap out the drums on my A100 van, front and rear. Are there any stock units that would work best? How large can we go on the discs? I have the police style 7" X 15 inch rims. Thanks

I've just completed a disc brake conversion for my 69 A108 van. I used a Volare rotor, GM calipers, made a caliper mounting bracket, and used off the shelf bearings. I plan to sell them once I've tested and made sure everything works ok. I will post the kit here, and on my other group, yahoogroups.com/group/dodgeA100.

Great work Charlie, that is a needed conversion that could be carried-over to some of the early trucks. To this day I do not know why it took MOPAR so long to install Disc Brakes onto their Trucks and Vans.

Thanks, Doug. I would actually like to adapt the D series trucks as there are so many more of them than the A series. Anybody with a spare D series spindle, get in touch with me. I am sure I can make the same conversion for your truck that I did for mine.

Charlie,
I'm the guy you bought the Van from. I still have my '68 D-100. Let me know if you want me to send the spindles to you.
