[A/S] disc brake upgrades/conversions





Dick - if you are still at Jackson Center - I'm interested in your disc 
brake information.

Is the conversion by chance - an across the board (across the years) 
possibility?  Or is it primarily a Dura-Torque and later swap?

I've got a '57 Flying Cloud with the original hydraulics - and before I 
begin investing $$$ in the upgrade of its it's axle and brakes - I'd be 
curious about this.  The price may sound expensive if it's an upgrade to an 
existing system in good shape - but for a system like mine that needs work - 
it sounds like an interesting way to direct some of my restoration dollars.

I look at this type of upgrade with an interest in the potential use of the 
different technology - and not just the bottom line of what costs less.

Thanks.  RL
