    Exclamation brakes

     



    Hi people. My name is Jim and i,m trying to build a 31 ford roadster myself. One of the problems i have run into is my brakes. I have 1937 ford spindles and chrome rims from a 1966 mustang with original bolt pattern. I also have early buick finned aluminum drums.My question is what disk brake calipers and rotors can i use to fit these parts i already have to give me the drum look with disk inside. thank you for your help

    If you're saying what I think you're saying - hiding a disc brake inside a dummy drum - I think you'll have serious problems with cooling the brakes.....unless, of course, it's to be a show car only and not driven on the street.
