Our Ball Joint Conversion uses the Granada spindles and brakes, but we also have a direct bolt on kit that uses your stock spindles.

This 49-51 Mercury kit bolt directly to your stock spindles. No maching
or modifications required.

What master cylinder is used with the Jamco conversion? Does Jmaco sell one?

We do carry a Power Brake Conversion for the Mercs as well. Here is a pic. also, Our new Tubular A-Arm kits for the 49-51 Mercurys are finished.

 

Wow! that's a nice setup. Is that master cylinder bracket all bolt in? and can you still use the stock wheels....5 on 5 1/2! will have to check it out more on the website....`

 

Yes, the Master Cylinder Kit is a bolt in kit and uses your stock pedal. As for the a-arm kit, it is 5 on 4 1/2 right now, but we are trying to make 5 on 5 1/2" rotors to use with the 15" stock Merc wheels.

 

What is the benifit of using the tubular A Arms? If you go with this setup and use drop spindles would you need to replace your tie rods?

 

Our Tubular arms eliminate the king pin set up and use a more traditional ball joint. King pins have not been used since 1953 and there's a reason. Ball joints make for better steering, better handling, better tire wear, less road noise and vibration. And yes, you can use all your stock steering componets.
