Another beat to death topic.......Disk Brakes

snip....

You sir are ruling out a lot of good parts from Peugeot and Renault...are you sure that's wise?

Don't forget Citroens, Alpines, & Hispano-Suiza's. Challenge: Find such a part. May as well go on a snipe hunt.

I think DirtDonk nailed it. Do the swap, then consider if you still need the spacers. My dim memory, that I refuse to be held accountable for (age), says that there is a mild WMS to WMS increase with the disc swap.

btw, the coolest dog ever, the one that I grew up with was named "boogie". 120 lbs. of K9 mom. Actually tattled on we kids when we were about to be in over our heads more than once, but woe to the person who thought they might do something to us while she was around.

Mt tires were rubbing in my Radius Arm a little but with a 1/4" wheel spacer fixed that.

Wouldn't it be easier to put a short bolt in the knuckle for the steering stops? A lot cheaper than wheel spacers too.

I would love to do a Hispano-Suiza V8 swap. But I can't even find the engine to do an OXX-15 conversion.
