Hi guys, New to the forum here. I have a 1961 Buick LeSabre I'm building up. I've been trying to upgrade my drum brakes to disc but there are no parts made for this car. Can anyone recommend a fabricator who can make me a custom bracket so I can mount a 6 piston Wilwood caliper to my antique style rear steer spindle? I would like to find someone who is familiar with disc brake swaps on drum spindles since we will need to make a modern day 13" rotor fit on the stock spindle. Thanks!
I would try these guys, they have a custom corvette front disc brake setup they sell and may be able to help: http://www.streetmachinery.com/ or maybe try www.scarebird.com to see if they have a lower cost solution?
