I am wondering if I use the kanter kit.
What do I do if I ever need brake pads and rotors?
Are they made specific to the kit or general parts adapted to the Packard?

Thank you

Lots of great information here for me to ponder as I try and figure out what road I am going to go here. I love this car its really unique and special, but upgrades and parts are definitely a challenge.

I also assumed the clipper had the same brakes so thanks for that information I would have totally missed that detail.

I have decided my Packard needs disc brakes. I see others have pieced something together however I want as close to bolt on as I can get. These are the kits I have found.

https://www.kanter.com/productdetail.aspx?DeptNo=1100&MakeName=Packard&MakeYear=1956&CategoryID=803&ProductCode=523&Router=Catalog

I like the lower price of my first option listed, but I am leaning towards wilwood. I'm used to upgraded brakes on modern cars so I like to stop! Anyone install this kit?

I would like to upgrade the master cylinder too is their a bolt on double reservoir I can simply replace the current reservoir with? I do not want to custom fit anything.
