Brake Conversion Kits/compatability
I'm looking to convert my '71 bronco's brakes to disk but don't really know where to start. I know there are kits so can anyone recommend a particular one? Also, I've heard a lot about compatable brakes from other vehicles. Any suggestions?
Thanks, Mike

Brake Conversion Kits/compatability
Hi
I just did a brake conversion on my 74 bronco I used the knuckles out on a 78 ford dana 44 I replaced everything except for the backing plates, dust covers and spindles. Some don't tell you about replacing the ball joints but I did those as well. As it turns out I probably spent about the same as I would have to get a kit but you could aquire some of the stuff cheaper than I did. I kinda got some wrong information on it. I would stick with a ford doner although chevy Dana 44 is compatible I think its alittle less hastle
