'nuther legality question...

[Tom keedle]

here's the plan, 67 ramblers have 9" drum brakes,can i upgrade to 81 concord disc?
don't want to go aftermarket....

[Ed Fernandez]

Yes you can.

[Tom Goldman]

You can also use the much lighter, but harder to find Spirit 4 cyl brakes which are about 8-10 #'s a side lighter than the 6 cyl units. .................Tom

And only you two "smackers" would know the answer to that trivia question! He he

Droozie,now you're skating on thin ice.It's not nice to dis us AMC'ers.
Tom S. I'll check around for a set of the 4 cyl calipers.A guy in Texas has the rotors.They might be a bit pricey though.
My car has them as it originally came with the puny Audi/VW 4 cylinder.

Those torque tubes were great . I had a lot of customers with early 60's Ramblers back in the 70's who were farmers,and the torque tubes kept the calcium and fertilizer from getting into the U-joints!!!!..............Of course if they hit a furrow the wrong way the trunion would bust off the front end !!!......................Tom
