    Hello all,
    I was wondering if anyone on here knew about a front end disc brake conversion that runs out of the firewall with the booster vs the floor one. I am currently working on a 1954 belair and want to find a great kit that I can access from under the hood vs the floor. Any advice, conversions or mock-ups would be appreciated! Please!

    Geez, what do you need a "conversion" for?????
    With my 54, I had a 1980 Monte as a donor. I used what I had. Made a 16 ga steel panel to strengthen the firewall where it was going to mount, with 3/8" or so, flanges turned on the sides for stiffness. Rosette welded it in place and drilled the holes to mount the swinging pedal assembly, and master/booster. Bend up some new brake lines, and done!

    How much of a pain in the a** is it to get behind the dash after the firewall master is in? Oh yeah...Waltons has a kit for a really good price
