Hi Guys I have a 1969 parisienne and need to change the front drums to disc to comply with AU main roads. Anyone know what spindles will fit or if there is a kit off another vehicle that will interchange easily.
Thanks
Jon
69 & 70 B body are unique to those years only, if your looking for the original look.There is a complete set used on eBay right now priced well. May be too heavy to ship. The spindles interchange with the Corvette 70 & up I believe.
Knuckles or Spindles, the piece that turns, & where the whl. brgs. go on, tapered with BIG NUT & cotter key or "split pin " I think you guys call them???

I'd have to agree with rabbit, the easiest way is a kit that will fit your drum spindles. Saves you from having to break the balll joints for new spindles. Those kits use smaller A body rotors, but will you be racing? These retrofit kits actually work well.
The next easiest way is to put together a C3 Corvette setup. It's all available and uses the same big car spindle.

I agree with cdnpont as I used a complete C3 front system with no problems."Go big or go home" is what I say.Heavier cars require a little more stopping power so better safe than sorry.And believe me,they do work well.

Hi Jonathon,
Wondering if youve completed the disc conversion as yet?
FYI - you may want to consider Hopper Stoppers here in Australia - they provide conversions using locally made GM Commodore (US Pontiac) parts..................see link..........note that they also provide a set of rear wheel cylinders (of the appropriate bore) to ensure front/rear equalisation is correct.........
FWIW I put a Master Power Brakes front disc conversion intended for an Impala on my '69 2+2 and it was a perfect bolt-on. They offer rear disks (some mid-80s Cadillac part) but I've had no luck with them. But the front disc conversion was easy.
