how to change drum brakes to disc brakes.?

Question

Do anyone know how to change drum brakes to disc brakes on a 1964 Lincoln Continental.

Answer 1

if u don't find a kit to do it on that car, I would caution that u may have to replace other parts like a master cylinder because the pressure for a disk brake is probably not going to be the same as that for a drum. There may be a specific regulator if the pressure is lower, but if it is higher it can't be regulated up.

Answer 2

there are kits available to make this very swap. as i recall the lincoln uses the same spindle as the 66 galaxie and thunderbird, and both of those cars had disc brakes. these cars use a bracket that bolted to the spindle, to which the caliper was then bolted. they also used a two piece rotor and hub assembly. these are available new, but you may have to order them and wait a day or two. as for the rear brakes, there are many kits available to put disc brakes on the ford 9" rear end. just let the kit supplier know what bearing size you have so they can send you the right bracket. check with master power brakes, and stainless steel brakes for kits front and rear.

Answer 3

I doubt you'll find a kit to do it (though looking wouldn't hurt). Unless disc brakes were an option on that vehicle then a professional mechanic will need to fabricate a solution. We're talking big money here.

Answer 4

need to find a retro kit it will make it easyer to do
