This topic came up at a Holiday Week-end Dinner:
I there a bolt-on disc brake set-up for a 48 Desoto?
....and a 55 Desoto..........and a 48 Dodge pickup?
They do not have to be the same parts, just a place to find them.
The people who asked this, each have one of these, and, as most non-MoPar owners are........terrified to tackle the brakes. I took them into my garage, and showed them the tools used to set the brakes, and get the drums off, as well as showed them the shop manual how it all works.
They still are not sold on the original brake idea.
........Cowards.........
Any input would be appreciated! Thanks!
