Disc brakes conversion
I don't want to debate over wether it's necessary or if drum brakes work just fine when set up correctly. I simply want to convert for 2 basic reasons.
1. It's much more of a pain in the *** to service drum brakes.
2. Leaking wheel cylinders, drums, and shoes are worn. Adding it up to replace is almost the same cost to swap over. (Looking at some DIY swaps that have been done)
Problem is... The more I search around. The more I find a jumbled mess of how to do it. I cannot nail down exactly what is needed to do a complete conversion.
If someone here has been through this and still has their compete list of what was used, that would be GREATLY appreciated.
