Front Disc brake conversion for sale

Majumbo

  I have a front disc conversion setup for step down from orphan auto mill which I think is ran by member faustmb for sale. I believe this was based of off the Lubuds kit. I have the MC kit and the hub kit. Looking to get 400 plus shipping.  I believe I paid 540 plus shipping.
thanks

Would this fit a 47 hudson pickup?

Regarding Fit...It should since the Backing plates have same bolt pattern from '37 to '54 that I have experienced. The Spindles on a '37 are a slightly longer requiring using a second oblong spacer behind the Hub Castle Nut. (You can buy a .125 Grade 8 Washer at Lowes too).. Additionally, I needed to use one original "37 - '47 wheel Brg with one Stepdown Brg.  To summarize, Stepdown Hornet Brakes will fit a '37  -'47 with a couple minor Brg switches... However, The Master Cyl Mount for a Stepdown is different than  '37 to '47 M/cyl. Hope this helps...

am wondering if I can use the 54 bendix treadle vac booster and m/c with this disc brake conversion.  Ray

I have this kit (actual LaBud kit, not a replica) on my '53; do not have power brakes and DO NOT need them whatsoever at all. Use 10 psi valve on rear circuit and 2 for front.  Install disks then decide if you need a booster. I would bet that you won't consider it at all. Certainly other brake components must be excellent and correctly set. When you can slide the tires you don't want much else. Unless, you have a muscle problem.

What brake pads and rotors are needed to complete this kit? What do you think shipping cost would be to 21157 area code? Thanks

What kind of MC kit do you have?
I have the rest of the disc kit, just haven't looked at the master cylinder conversion yet...k

I have this setup on my 48 Commodore.  I got it from Matt Faust and if I recall correctly, he recommended the MC, rotors and pads that are needed and where to get them.  I haven't needed a power booster either and it works a whole lot better than the drum brakes.

Here is the list of parts that came with my brakes. Note that they were on the car when I got it so I cannot attest that this list is accurate; also may be different than Matt's brakes. There is another 'long' list available and I will post next if I can locate it.

I would like to, but getting a response from the original poster is difficult. Does anyone know where the parts are located? I am trying to estimate shipping costs. Thanks

RichardD

 Anyone on this post installed a PBR (Aussie) VH-40 power brake booster?? This one does not use a different MC. The output hyd. line from the MC goes to booster.

addendum>power brake was in my Healey

Did anyone hear from Majumbo ? Just wanted to know if this was still available

Cut out on rear of power steering pump which appears to be a 1940 Hudson overdrive solenoid.

RichardD

A/C ?  I see a pulley connected to something on the other side? Can't imagine anything else.

The disc brake set up has been sold.

Majumbo

Sold sorry for missing the PMs and not updating ad. Was kinda busy with work.

RichardD

Zach, nice to say you're sorry;  BUT, all folks should do is click on your 'name' and your email address comes up.
PM's are somewhat difficult; even know if you have one.  That is why the email option is best one. I did it and you responded !!
 More should know that ??

RichardD

 I have purchased the power brake unit and it will be here from Au in about a week. Will see what happens.

RichardD

decided against posting more about power brakes due to liability.
