Title: disc brakes for 14" rally wheels.
Post by: dlmwtvl on November 02, 2016, 06:28:37 PM
I was planning on updating to disc brakes this winter.
I just put on 4 new 14x7 rally wheels and 235/60r14 TA's
What is my best option for the upgrade?
Thank you
David

I have no idea what is the best option, but one option is SSBC performance brakes:

http://ssbrakes.com/ (http://ssbrakes.com/)

They have kits for mid-60s Buicks and my trusty wagon has front discs on 14" rims and they work fine.  There is a lot of competition in this business though.  I will be interested to see what other members on this forum have to say!

Cheers, Edouard  :occasion14:

 The Right Stuff carriers kits that fit your stock spindles and complete kits plus lines, online at getdiscbrakes.com . They also fit 14 inch wheels!

What wheels do you have? If you have the ones that are clearanced for disc brakes, then you have plenty of options.
Mine has the 14" wheels with this and we rebuilt a set of 69 a body brakes. Think they were from a Chevelle.
Work great and are concealed under my restored spinner caps

Scarebird had a kit to mount readily available rotors and calipers to fit the 14" drum brake wheels. It uses the stock spindles so they don't need to be changed.
Here's the full Buick page. Rear disc kits also available.
