63 Buick Le Sabre Disc Brake Swap
I HAVE POSTED A COUPLE OF TIMES ON DISC BRAKE SWAPS. THIS IS THE ONE I JUST STARTED. THE CAR IS 63 LE SABRE IT WAS 4-LUG 13 INCH TIRES DRUMS ALL THE WAY AROUND.
THE SPINDLES ARE FROM A 78 MAILBU I HAD TO SWAP SIDES BECAUSE IT IS REAR STEER. I USED THE BUNGS FROM A WINSTON CUP CAR. (UPPERS ALL THE WAY AROUND) I HAD TO REAM THE BALL JOINT HOLES AN THE OUTER TIE ROD HOLES. THIS PICTURE SHOWS THE UPPER CONTROL ARM AND A BALLJOINT BUNG IN A PLATE THAT I MAKE. SOMETIMES I CAN RE-USE THE STOCK CONTROL ARMS. I USE THE PLATE WHEN I CAN NOT USE THE STOCK ARM. I'LL POST SOME MORE PICTURES OF EVERYTHING TOGETHER.

THESE ARE THE FINISHED PICTURES OF THE SWAP. ALL I HAVE TO DO IS THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND MASTER CYLINDER.
