Dick - if you are still at Jackson Center - I'm interested in your disc
brake information.
Is the conversion by chance - an across the board (across the years)
possibility? Or is it primarily a Dura-Torque and later swap?
I've got a '57 Flying Cloud with the original hydraulics - and before I
begin investing $$$ in the upgrade of its it's axle and brakes - I'd be
curious about this. The price may sound expensive if it's an upgrade to an
existing system in good shape - but for a system like mine that needs work -
it sounds like an interesting way to direct some of my restoration dollars.
I look at this type of upgrade with an interest in the potential use of the
different technology - and not just the bottom line of what costs less.
Thanks. RL
