Re: IML: AAJ Brakes / Disc Brake conversion

[Kenyon Wills <imperialist1960@xxxxxxxxx>]

The AAJ solutions revolve around the smaller 14"
wheels as found on most Chryslers, much to the delight
of our Forward Look Cousins.  The smaller discs are
likely better than the stock drums, but make certain
that you're asking the right questions going into
something like that.

The guy knows his stuff.

I am sitting on stacks of Drums.  I have listed them
on ebay have had had no bites.  I know that they are
relatively slow moving for other vendors, so they are
around.
