Re: disc brake conversions

The installation was simple and straight-forward. In my previous posts I noted that some holes didn't line up and that the disc brake conversion was Lug-Centric and not Hub-Centric as on the original.

Also, the lug studs on the new kit are 1/2" while the original bolts are 9/16". I got no info from Kanter about this situation, nor have I received any info about what brake pads are used in this kit. (This info would be useful when it comes time to put new pads on the car.)

The 1/2" studs seem to locate the wheels just fine but I installed an aluminum ring on the rotor to properly locate the wheel just in case.

You might ask Kanter about these points when you are purchasing the kit.
