      Drum to Disc Delema - Please Read!

      Ok, so I'm going to order a Moser 12 bolt for the vert soon, but I have a problem.

      I will be getting a slightly narrowed rear with the new style Ford 2.50" ends to get rid of the c-clips. I planned on getting the Wilwood Dynalite 4 pots and 12.19" rotor as a package in one shot.

      Here is the problem:

      I want to continue to drive the car as I make progress and if I went the the bigger discs out back that would require a wheel change. Since I don't have the $$ to do the fronts brakes yet the car would have 18's out back and the stock SS wheels in front. Not an option.

      I already have the rear wheels but are waiting to buy the fronts since I haven't decided which sub I'm getting and AM's new sub would require an different offset then stock. ei 6+" as opposed to 4.75 or such.

      What can I do.

      Can I get the Ford ends and somehow put the GM drums back on?

      I used the Ford style ends with a Chevy bolt pattern. Mark Williams Ent. has 'em. I used my stock drums first as well. Now have the discs.

      The wilwood 12.19 rears work inside certain 15" rims and with a good proportioning vealve can be made to work with smaller fronts.

      Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
      Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

      Thanks Norwood, I completely forgot about the BP. I assume the mounting holes won't align, but can be drilled?

      Nick, I have the 14" SS wheels so no dice.

      Rob, they are correct. The Moser rear cancome with a Chevy Special end which is a Ford bearing and a chevy pattern, a Torino end, whatever, the brakes can be done on either. And the offset on the rear caliper means there is no clearance issue for 15" wheels. So when your ready let us know.
