Do anyone know of a proffessional and serious company who can supply my 1966 Wildcat GS with front discbrakes? It has to be a complete kit with rotors, calipers, lines, brakets, mastercylinder and booster. The whole lot.... Have tried email and phone to dfbrakes.com but no answer. ABS powerbrake doesnt reply email either. Im lost and with 2 tons of Buick Muscle without proper brakes it aint funny...:ball: Please help. Can i order some parts for another Buick model that will fit? Morten Denmark
This is a good bet for most parts. Master cylinders will be a different story since the 66 never offered discs as OE. Start here: http://www.scarebird.com/index.php?id=1
I hope this will help and not muddy your waters further. I have a 1968 Wildcat that came with factory disc brakes. They were the 4 piston Bendix caliper type. A monumental pain - it is easy to see why GM went to single piston disc barkes starting in 1970. I have since converted my disc brakes to 1970 units. What was required was the mounting hardware to the spindle, splash shields, calipers, and the flexible brake line. IF (and this is a BIG IF) the 1966 Wildcat uses the same drum brake spindles and master cylinder mounting as a 1968 (a likely occurrence), then I would recommend getting a 1970 full size disc brake conversion "kit" from a salvage yard. You will need the master cylinder, proportioning valve, spindles, splash shields, calipers, and flexible brake lines. Note that the spindles for a disc brake car are different than for a drum brake car and that the mounting hardware that holds the caliper to the spindle is unique to 1970 if you wish to have single piston calipers.
Thank you both for your reply. I have found Scarebird myself and eill contact them. I have a friend whos driving a 1970 riviera, maybe i could check if his spindles and so on could fit the Wildcat...
