    Disc Brake adapters

    Hi,
    There are a couple of sources, one is cheap and the other is rather spendy but looks good. There is a guy who makes a bracket that adapts later GM calipers and rotors to the stock spindle. I have seen them on ebay and on the BCA sight for about a hundred bucks. The other set up is on ebay for a $1895 "buy it now" price, but it looks very complete. The guys name is Tony Gentilcore and he is from Austrailia. The kit uses late model Holden parts (GTO) and looks very well engineered. Go on ebay and look under 63 Riviera and the kit will show up. Contact Tony and he'll let you know if his set up will fit. Good Luck, Tim :Comp:

    I've been looking for a used setup from a yard for years. Very difficult to find. If you get a used set up, make sure you get the valve located on the frame for the brake lines.

    As far as I know, only 69 and 70 LeSabre/Wildcat/Electra will fit our cars.
