    Does anyone make a front disc conversion kit for a 61 lesabre? Would a kit for a fullsize chevy work? How about drop spindles?

    I bought my 61 already had C5 vette discs on it, I've been all over it and it looks near bolt in. I can't see where any mods have been done at all to any part, but they may have. Looks like a later model spindle bolted up to the Upper and Lower control arms. Note does have an 8" booster and MC with a prop valve now as well. Still runs original rear discs. Stops awesome. I believe it may have been done by a shop in Cleveland back in 2006 or 2007. Don't have the name of the shop but could track it down, they do air bag conversions and brake conversions on a ton of late 50's early 60's stuff

    Street Machinery in Ohio. Here is their ebay page.

    IIRC, there is some minor machining necessary for the C5 brakes to work. Boris (Street Machinery) sells kits I think. Mine has the same setup.
