i'm not sure i will be making them from the same material. still experimenting with types actualy, but i plan for them look exact

Randerson: are you the owner of the 56 delux pictured?

he still in fact offers them. i contacted him when you mentioned that on my first thread when i posted that i was looking to buy one. he offers them in alum or cast $1350 either way.

those prices listed seem to be right jack. i'm still try'n to come up with a 2x4 intake so i can finish the greendragon's "as raced" restoration. problem is the people who have them are not willing to let go of them right now.

i have yet to find anyone who has a good set of these! neither one of the mikes,joel or anyone. so even though i had planned to wait to announce this. i am working on reproductions. i have so many 55-56 cars that i was going to just for my "fleet". but then i decided if i start reproducing them, maybe my "packard habit" could at least help pay for itself and help out the fellow 55-56 guys!

more to come!

as of right now b.k. the plan is 51-56 all. as one rotor should cover 51-56 sr since the bolt pattern is the same for them. jr's just require which ever style rotor. large bolt pattern or small. 50 and older will be avail. soon

the "basic" kit consist of house brand (i.e. usualy chineese made) brake pads and rotors,claipers,hoses, and the adapter brackets.

The "premium" kit will have all the same parts, except the will be brand name,better quality,better warrenty.
the rotors & pads for example will be Wagner Thermo-Quiet products. if i can still get them so will the calipers. if not then the calipers will be Cardone brand.

as far as cost, to your door. that i will have as soon as the run of brackets is done so i can figure the final cost of the kit. i could give you a price right now, but it would not include the brackets.

one other thing to note: 55 and older cars will most likely also include wheel studs in the kits.


thanks, Chad

Oh and f.y.i. i tried to contact every company that showed a conversion listing for packard about warranty of their set ups. either they would not comment, or said there is NONE!!

for those people who are interested in the disc brake conversions, pm me please. they are currently in the works and should be able to start shipping them out in roughly 6-10 weeks. there will be two grades "basic" and "premium"
