I used the $95. Cpp 5 lug basic bracket kit on my 54-3100....They furnish the brackets, bolts, and required spacers, and info on what you need to purchase locally. You'll use mid-70's Camaro rotors and will need to get the CPP $30. bearing conversion kit. They have detailed instructions on their website. You can check locally for the cost of mid-70's rotors, calipers, brake hoses and brake pads.

The lower end of the disc install is the cheap part. I fabricated my own master cylinder bracket, used a mid 70's Corvette manual disc/disc master, Wilwood adjustable proportioning valve from Summit for $39.00 and 2 residual valves for $16.00 each. With a roll of 3/16 line material and brake fluid it came to about $375.00. If you had to buy the bracket it would be another $79.00.

I am running a 5 lug Camaro disc differential and with 4 wheel discs you don't need power booster. I've got power on my hot rod truck and they are too twitchy. The Wilwood adjustable proportion valve is a must as I've yet to see a kit valve that matches your vehicle and driving conditions....and they are sometimes a bear to get bled properly. I can adjust my brake bias from inside the cab behind my right foot.

If you can do the plumbing by yourself you'll send an hour tearing out the old stuff, 2 hours at AutoZone trying to find someone who knows a rotor from a caliper, and about 6 hours getting everything else plumbed in. I made all my lines and started with a fresh system. Upgrading to a dual master with old lines, solid and rubber, is
going to bite you later on down the road.

Was it worth it? You betcha!!!! She'll stop on a dime (figure of speech) haven't run over a Ricer since I upgraded and recommend it as the first upgrade you make before you hit the road. I've got some pics in my album. Hope this helps.
