Power Disc Brakes

I've searched the forum and can't find any information on putting power disc brakes on and keeping the original clutch set up. I didn't find any information on TCI's website either. That site seems to be all messed up now. Has anyone put power disc brakes and kept the original clutch set up? If so, do you have pictures?

Thanks,
Scott

on what year?

on 56, needed the kit for the clutch... it is shown on midfifties catalog...

it included a new pedal shaft, U bracket, etc... on mine, I had to modify the bracket on the transmission to raise the location of the shoulder bolt for the U bracket... i did not like the alignment of the shaft ... it sloped down a bit instead of straight across.

not sure what is needed on F1's....

i don't have images...

on a '48

I put power disc on my '48 F-1 and didn't have any problems. It went right where the original master cylinder and pedals were and didn't come anywhere near the clutch linkage.

Would you care to share what/whose parts you used, and where you got them?

No Limit has a P/B kit (pbf-48c) that bolts in and uses the stock brake pedal, and the booster fits in behind the original location. The stock clutch pedal can be used with mech. linkage, or to push a Wilwood clutch master. Merry Christmas
