I would like to convert the front brakes on my 1949 F1 to disc brakes. Does anyone make a conversion kit? I found one for a F2 but that doesn't work.
Thank you in advance!
RC

My 51 F1 has the CPP disk conversion (by PO). The caliper is a mid 70’ Chevy C-10, and the rotor is a mid 70’s F-100, but with a different bearing (I forget which one). Works well.

I used the basic ECI bracket kit, big GM calipers, late 70's to early 90's Ford 1/2 ton rotors with matching inner bearings/seals and mid 70's GM mid sized car outer bearings
It's all spelling out in the bracket kit
