Project #1

Up Interchange Donor Cars Aftermarket Rear Brakes MC & PV Front Bearings Project #1

9" Drums to Slider Disc Brakes

The webmaster has a slant-six powered 1965 Plymouth Barracuda that was originally equipped with 9" drum brakes all around.  This project documents the upgrade of the brakes on this car to the slider disc brakes used on 1973-1976 A-Bodies.

Upgrading these brakes is much easier when a parts car is used since all of the parts necessary for the conversion will be readily available.  The parts car used in this project is a 1973 Duster acquired from a Tennessee junk yard through eBay.
