I am very interested to know more about the bolt-on disc brakes because ...
I am doing a 4-wheel disc brake conversion right now on my 56 Panther (nee Clipper). This is a long awaited resurrected project. However, the front disc brake adapters are the same as on my 55 Pat and have been on that car for 10 years. I have almost all the parts in hand and have sent out the front suspension spindle and steering arm for machine work. With some luck, I should be putting it together in a trial assembly this weekend.
However, that being said, IMO, the BTV is still the unacceptable part of the whole braking package. I won't be using a BTV. I'm somewhat undecided about whether to duplicate what's on my 55 Pat or go with a engine-side Firewall dual MC & booster like Eric and Keith did some years ago. For my application (resto-rod and 4-speed with clutch pedal), the latter will probably be better.
