Title: Disc Brake Upgrade
Post by: Carmen on December 18, 2007, 07:09:55 PM
Hello All

Has anyone done a front and back disc brake upgrade on their 1941 P11 Plymouth. I just got my car and this is one of the first things that I want to do. During this past summer I did an complete disc brake upgrade on my 1954 Dodge M37 3/4 ton truck and love it.

If possible please post some pictures and the name of the vendor you bought them from.

Thanks

Carmen?

I used the aaj brakes kit on the front and rear of my 1941 P12 Plymouth. Very pleased with the parts and the service. On the front I did use a set of spindle uprights from a P15. Those parts have three mounting holes as opposed to the four on the '41 spindle uprights. The aaj brake caliper bracket has the three hole set up. The spindles are a direct swap.

Charlie Ackers in Florida makes a kit for converting early mopars to disc brakes on the front any way.? He has a wesite showing some pictures of his conversion kit.? He has a backet and bearing spacers, and the rest is readily availble GM and Mopar stuff from your local parts store.
He is a frequent contributor to the P15 D 25 forum and is a early mopar enthusiast.
