    Does anyone have any experience with brake swap parts from toms classic on Ebay?

    They are based of Isanti Minnesota and are also known as Auto City Classic, they do glass and such.

    I am looking at doing a full 4 wheel brake swap on my 57 Fairlane and they can supply me with everything that I need for a pretty decent price, but i would like to investigate before I spend that kind of money. The brake parts i am looking at includes booster, master cylinder, 4 wheels calipers and adapters, proportioning valve, hoses and all that.

    any experience would be much appreciated.

    Probably not much help, but my friend used them to outfit his 58 Ford. No probs that I know of.
     
  3. I bought their front disc brake conversion for my 49 Chevy truck worked great!

    I bought a set for my 51 Pontiac Chieftain from Toms classics brake. It's not fitting right. I can not locate any instruction manuals on online. I sent a email via ebay. They responded pretty quick. He said that they have not published any instructions online. I replied with my issue. I'm waiting for a response. I am installing the kit at a legitimate hot rod shop. Has anyone posted installs on a similar car? Thanks

    Check Auto city classics dot com. A search for Toms brings them up.

    Looking at the kit 350656952957 on Ebay it's about as straightforward as any kit I've seen. The bottom hole could be a tad off due o the bends in that leg though.

    I obtain a set of dropped spindles for my 57 Chevy and had to do alot of grinding and refitting to be able to have them rotated the full required radius. But I hear that is common on overseas manufacturing.

    Bought their front disc kit for my '64 Galaxie. Fit well, works well. I ended up needing a larger bore MC, and they had one in stock. Helpful. I'd buy from them again.
