Thanks for the responses, especially frank Duval, like you my friend I am an old school mechanic, in fact one of the first few ase master mechanics if that shows you how long I have been practicing, lol. It is relatively easy to get the front brakes to work equally on the initial install but down the road factors change and if you ever do a hard panic stop when they aren't working properly it's not a warm fuzzy feeling. I haven't measured my aluminum drums yet but there is no lip and they are nice and smooth so pretty confident they are cherry so would look cool on the back, I'll post progress

How can I respond to rivnut directly, I am new to this site and it says I can't contact directly because I don't have enough content

I want disc brakes as an upgrade, not necessarily better stopping power but even stopping power between left and right, have hade issues in the past with uneven braking causing pulls left or right

I am putting a front disc brake conversion on my 69 riv and the front aluminum drums are in great shape so i want to install them on the rear. Has anyone done this and what is involved?
