[WANTED] DIsc Brake conversion 63 Dart

[Anton Delange]

Looking for parts and/or advice/suppliers to convert 63 225/6 Dart to front power disc brakes. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

You probably have 9" brakes and spindles so your choice is limited without changing some parts.

The 1st question is do you want to keep your Small bolt patterned 13 inch wheels ? and if not what wheel and tire size do you want.

I have a complete power small bolt kelsey-hayes setup for duster ..nice rotors and new pads... also 14" set of 5.5 small bolt wheels that are hard to find off GTS...

Yup, so many options depending on how much you want to spend and what look you want to have. I'd upgrade those 9" spindles regardless of what system you decide to get. The wheel bearings are just too wimpy IMO. As mentioned, do you want to keep the small bolt pattern, keep the rear the same, have two different spares? With disc brakes, you're going to have to 86 those 13 X 4" wheels regardless. The stock '66-72 KH disc brakes are pretty much a bolt in if you can find a donor car. If you want the big bolt pattern factory discs, a '73-6 donor works the best, but, there are other B,E, and F body stuff that can donate some parts. There are also many different aftermarket kits with a whole variety of options. If this is going to be a driver, I would recommend a kit that uses off the shelf wear parts and not proprietary stuff. It makes getting replacements a lot cheaper and easier.
