Question about 1962 Southampton Disk Brake Conversion

["Maxiudo Ulrich" <mind_probe@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

fellow imperialists:

i drive like a regal maniac and i need to safely stop from high speeds.  
i've completely redone the original braking system on my '62 southampton, 
but i still have an unpleasant vibration when i'm stopping.  very 
UNimperial.  knowing that i have to go back and check everything again, i'm 
seriously considering swapping out the original braking system for a disc 
braking system.  has anyone done this?

i welcome email from anyone that knows the parts i need for an easy 
conversion and where i can get such parts.

as an aside, i just put a stainless steel dual exhaust and aluminum mufflers 
on my '62.  i got a nice small power boost on my rebuilt 413 into a 440 and 
an ever-so-slight threatening growl.  otherwise, its quiet in the cabin on 
the road.

many thanks for your thoughts.

best regards,

max
