I would like to know how to stop better without adding disc brakes. does anyone know if a power booster will fit on a 59 apache with a three on the tree? :confused: | | | | | Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 198 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 198 | Search 'kevlar brakes'. Someone here has them and, if I remember right, really likes them. It maybe on a big bolt though. You should be able to find them for the Apache.

(I'm not recommending locking up the brakes for the shortest stopping distance, of course.) | | |
