Speedway Disc Brake Kit
Hi All,
Has anyone used this disc brake kit from Speedway?
If so how did it go?

The price looks good
I see they are using rebuilt rather than new calipers

i just picked up a 50 merc f68.someone had a complete hub to hub with springs for sale here in town,i figured this would be a good way to change to a 5on 5 1/2 bolt pattern.i paid $150.00for it.took me awhile to figure out all i had to do was switch the hubs from one axle to the other.had i found this forum 2 weeks sooner i for sure would have looked into a kit like this for a $100.00 more (plus exchange rate and shipping)i could have had disc brakes up front.i thought they cost a lot more than this.i cant wait to see more replies to this.thanks for this post,i will be keeping a eye on this for sure

p.s. i forgot to mention the new axle was off a 53 f100.

I'm running that Speedway kit and love it. Pictures of it on my website.
Sell your old front brakes on the HAMB for $200 and recoup some of your investment. The old hot rodders love the F100 brakes for some reason.

I plan to use this kit as well.
Hopefully this summer!

I am going to use the 5 on 5.5. It is a bit more money but I want to run the original bolt pattern stock rims and match my rear end. (9 inch)
I had the same plan to sell my old brake stuff on the hamb or ebay. I also have my old steering box that is in demand as well.

A traditional hot rod message board...not as friendly to new folks as it is here, but a lot of good info to browse through.

I'm sure I know the answer to this question, but did you replace the master cylinder when you installed this? What did you go to? Firewall or below floor?
