Front Drum to Disc Brake Conversion

After looking at every option, we decided that the easiest and cheapest way to get front disc brakes would be to use the Scarebird.com adapter kit.

Main reasons:
1. Keep original spindle, and NOT have to mess with the new ball joints we just put in a month ago.
2. Cheaper by at least $30 (more if we can score some sales), and we'll KNOW good part numbers for future needs.

I'll try and upload the spreadsheet we used to compare, and some shopping details in the next post.
