Hey Guys!!! I am planing on putting disks on the front of my 62 chevy bel air. This is just a cruiser, no race track thing, but the drums suck!!! I am thinking of using a 4x4 S-10 front rotor (like an early 90s), this rotor is a hat style that fits over my stock drum hub. And a GM "metric" caliper (like for an 80s olds cutlass, monte carlo, or s-10). I measured the rotor and it is about 10 1/2 in dia, I know this is small compared to your 12 in vette stuff but will it work ok for what I am doing??? I would also like to keep the stock 14 in wheels. I compared the S-10 rotors to an 80s cutlass (or whatever) rotor and the dimensions were the same. I checked the parts book and these rotors and calipers were used for LOTS of GM cars in the 80s and early 90s, so they should be OK, right?
Also I have 11 in drums in the rear, what should I use for a master cyl for this combo??? (I would like to keep it manual brakes ifI could) I have stock disks and drums on my 68 chevelle with a master for a mid 70s camaro with manual drum/disks and they work great, could I use the same master?? Thanks Guys
