Confused about brake calipers
Hello:
Well I am swaping the front to disc brakes and at the same time I am reading about rear disc brakes on this site. I have rear HO52 and I see the blackbird custom trucks sets but they are pricey. Then I read different threads and see that people are using cadilac calipers from late 70s to 80s, eldorados, devils and etc. Can someone help me out here? I think I have to spend few hundred $$$ to rebuild the existing drum set up (if I can find all the parts)i thought it worth it to spend couple hudred more (If it can be done with couple extra hundred). Thanks
