Re: Installing front disc brakes. So i need new wheels?

As a follow up, I took an original 61 rim and tried to get it on the front hub. The center hole on the rim is too small to fit over the T-bird rotor.

For a 14" wheel to work, try some off a Granada or Monarch. If you want to go slightly older, anything off a '72 to '78 Torino or LTD should clear the caliper and have the correct center hole.

Re: Installing front disc brakes. So i need new wheels?

1 why spend the big bucks at dearborn when you can do the spindle swap for nothing...
2. why stay with 14" wheels?
3. did you finish the swap, how did it go....
