Front disc brakes 1948 22nd Series - - - -

Posted by Michael Evans On 2014/9/6 2:32:10

I have been to the Wilwood website (www.wilwood.com) regarding their Dynalite Classic Series front disc brake conversion kits for post-war Packards and I'm impressed.

Sure I know most of the guys reading this are going to say "What's wrong with the standard drum set-up ?" well I'm in the U.K and our roads are pretty scary when you're in a BIG & OLD car - motorways (Turnpikes ?) are most hours in a day packed with huge lorries (many from the Continent with the steering on the left) whilst the smaller two way traffic roads are really no less scary when in a big American car - my standard drums are okay but not fantastic and I feel if we want to USE the car for anything other than very short trips to Shows we need to upgrade.

So the disc conversion appeals to me however I am having trouble with Wilwood as having Emailed them the Email has bounced back - I'm using support@wilwood.com can anyone help and get me the correct Email please? as I need further inf. such as costs etc.

Also if anyone out there has installed a kit to their Packard please let me have your views on suitability, ease of installation, any problems etc.

Best regards Michael
