I have the catalogs, seen the ads and so on and despite what is written is there a true bolt-on front wheel disc brake kit using the original 16" wheels? If so who sells it. They all claim bolt-on but from what I have been reading here in the Forums and elsewhere each so called bolt-on kit requires some modification or a change of wheels.

to fit my 16inch wheels. There is a lot of meat on the calliper so didn't bother me. Trying to find a booster and dual master to fit is another problem. the tech people at various vendors are not overly helpful. If you have a manual transmission that can be a problem as well as the cross member. I have an automatic tranny so that is one problem out of the way, but even the rear cross member may have to be butchered. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,953 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,953 | Thanks Stan.
