Re: 544 disc brakes 444-544 1966

posted by  someone claiming to be John McRaven on  Thu Jun 7 03:21 CST 2001 [RELATED]

All 544's came with 4 drums from the factory. However, enterprising people have found it is quite easy to put the front discs from a 122/1800 on the front of a 544. And I think someone has even figured out how to put disc brakes on the rear (without swapping out the whole axle). My own $0.02 is that the drums work just fine - but even though my 544 is much faster than stock (2.2 liter B20e) I don't really drive it terribly hard. I wouldn't mind having and may convert in the future to a dual circuit master cylinder though. Single circuit brakes just make me nervous.
