Loving life! 2 years since my 67 Imperial GM full-size Disc Brake upgrade!

I am wondering if your design will allow the fusalege Imperials to use the GM rotor? The Imperial rotors are no longer available.

We need to get some pictures with detailed dimensions on those cars. I’ve never looked at one! Would be good for someone with a 1970 to 73 to get some pictures of the spindle.

I have a 68 crown convertible. I would be interested in a kit.

No problem I have five others going together right now you have to buy your own GM Parts that O’Reilly’s or wherever

Well it's still not clear to me about the 70 , 73 cars for what caliper they have. Can someone with a 70 to 73 take a wheel off and take some pictures?

Part# shows 1967 to 1973'

My machine shop made me four complete sets of adapters and spacers. Should have them Friday .

I've been working on a similar setup to put the GM D52 caliper on a drum-brake spindle, in a 14" wheel, and it's all pretty tight. (spare time/back burner project)

The mounting provisions on this Budd spindle look to be a completely different animal.
When the parts arrive, can you post pics of them? I might then be able to speculate about retrofitting on the disc-brake spindle in a 15" rim.


So far, the drumbrake adapter plate is totally flat. I have a disc spindle I could evaluate also.

My 71 Imperial has single piston calipers. They come up the same part# as a 71 New Yorker.

Good morning C body people. Well its been 2 years to the day since I fixed the brakes on my beautiful 1967 Imperial Crown 4dr Hardtop. After many expensive attempts to get the BUDDS calipers to not leak by buying SS modified ones for big money and Yada yada yada I threw in the towel on the Budds and built a slick simple conversion using full size GM , Cadillac, Ambulance, Police, commercial large single piston calipers available in any auto store around the country. Conveient that the full size GM's use also the 5" x 5" bolt spacing. I never posted about this upgrade I did to my Imperial back then as I thought I would do it later after I knew how it was working. Well the car stops amazing the last 2 years, no leaks no vibrations, when you put your foot on the brakes at highway speed the nose of the car comes right down and stops this be heave beautiful car like a dream. Anwyay a few pics for you below and if any of you have questions post here or PM me. All the best guys and galls. Reg Riemer.
