Re: Brake blues!

[Jacob Fox <imfast101@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'd love to put discs on I just don't have that kindve money at the moment :-( has anyone put a disc conversion on a 64 880?? Can you just order the parts from a parts house like oriellys? I also just installed a brand new single cylinder master clyinder, could I still use it??
