Re: Disc Brakes!

[Dan McCormack <mcwheels@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bill I'm not sure I understand what your asking. It sounds like you want to 
install rear disc brakes but if you already have front disc brakes why do 
want to change them? I'm not sure about MP but the spindles Master Power 
Brakes uses are reproductions of the A body spindles that you already have. 
If you have the smaller A body rotors and want to upgrade to the larger ones 
all you need is a set of the larger caliper adaptors and the larger rotors. 
(which require 15" wheels btw)

Here's a link to an article that may be of some help.

I've never been a fan of rear disc brakes myself. It's a lot of expense and 
trouble for very little improvement in braking since the majority of your 
braking is done by the front brakes. But that's just my personal opinion.
