Thread: 69 firebird conversion

Tweet

i'm looking for a front end, disc brake conversion kit or any car with front disc brakes compatible with 69 firebird.

Stangracer,

Techinspector has given you some good sites for these conversion kits. I bought my power disk conversion kit for my 68 off of Ebay from MattsClassicBowties. They are a complete set that are already assembled including spindles, rotors, pads calipers, proportioning valve, booster, master cylinder etc. I think I gave $750.00 including shipping for them. I see the add pop up on eBay quite often so you should be able to do a search on there and find them. If nothing else, you can call them at 1-866-MATTSGM, and they can probably help you out. You can also go to junkyards if you want and get them there, I forget what the exact years are, but it's like '68-74 Novas, 64-72 Chevelles, GTOs, 67-69 Camaros etc. will work for your application. The main thing is, you need disk brake spindles that are steered from the rear instead of the front. Also, when it comes to the calipers, you will probably want the single piston calipers, not dual like in the original disc brake applications for first gen firebirds and camaros.

Lotsa luck,
Firechicken

thnx alot for your help
