[Chevelle-List] Disc brake conversion questions - "Circle Track" A arms?

[Chevelle 69]

Title: Message

One of the guys in my car club told us about these "circle track" A arms that are only about $100 each. They are adjustable, but don't have stops. I am not comfortable with this guy's solution of using a chain myself, so I may try to come up with something else. That $400 Global West and Hotchkiss wants is more than a cheapskate like me is willing to pay. I probably will go with their ball joints & connecting rods though. There is only so much "Mickey Mouse" I am willing to do in order to be the cheapskate I am. Have to have quality too, that's where I draw the line, quality to do the job right and safety.

Anyone have any experience with these?

sweet... wish I new that a few weeks ago looking through the junkyard as one had disc brakes on it. My own fault for not doing better research I guess. I have been debating about how to swap to front discs... been a hard to decide whether or not to do the long spindle swap as it will cost a bit more since I'd need the Global west arms.

Yes, the early Montes are A-body cars. In 1970 the El Camino & Monte Carlo even used the same front bumper.
