Corporate 14 bolt disc brake conversion

[roundhouse]

I was gonna say I dont see how a eldo caliper could be anywhere near the braking of the stock 14 bolt drum

Nothing wrong with drums in the back
Drums are not enough for the front
But on the back they are fine
Especially the huge ones on the 14 b

Yes. After much consideration,  research,  price comparison and the intended use of the new brakes versus the old brakes,  I have decided not to convert. It should be cheaper to rebuild than upgrade,  they are not going to have the stopping power and I loose the factory park brake, so I would have to find a solution for that as well.

So when it's time, I'm just gonna rebuild the front and rear brakes and not worry. She's been stopping like that for 40 years and will be just fine for another 40. Plus they are good when towing.

Thanks all for your opinions and help!

I really liked the link that was posted earlier for tsmmsg.com and noticed the dual piston option, and a parking brake option.

The part I am not sure about is stopping power. How did you determine that rear discs do not have as much stopping power as the original drums?
