    Above is an e bay item number. It is for a set of brackets to convert a drum set up to a disc USING your drum spindles. The seller states it will work for my 74. Mav. I talked to the seller and he states that you remove your drum and all your drum hardwear, bolt on his brackets and the list of parts you have to buy and thats it.... Has anyone tryed this in place of the spindle swap? I'm obviously no machanic but is there even a place on a drum spindle to bolt a bracket to support a caliper. The fact that i dont have to do a spindle swap is what draws me to this.... Thoughts??? opinions????

    Saw those advertised a while back, so I made my own brackets and used gm style calipers and Mustang rotors. Make sure it high grade locking hardware and it should be just fine!
