I've looked at past posts on the site and searched the net (Maybe I am blind  :shruggy:) but can't find disc conversion kits for 14" rims. I plan to keep my Drums in the rear which are 15" rims and convert the front to disc.

Has anyone done this to 14" before or know where I can buy a kit?

I dont think they have kit for 14"s as far as I know. Smallest rim you can run is 15"s. Someone correct me if Im wrong

this baer kit says it'll work with 14" rims, not cheap though

I think theres an SSBC kit that will work too, but a few people seem to be having trouble with their kits, do a search on here  :-\

The standard Master Power (MP) conversion is the A body spindle and 10.87 rotor with slider caliper and will work fine with 14 inch wheels.

Yeah I think I'm going to try and collect everything up myself then. A kit would save lots of time and searching but they are to much at the moment.

Actually there is one partial kit made by Scarebird you might check into that will save you the hassle of running around trying to find spindles and caliper adapters, which is the most difficult part of the process unless you already have a source. Scarebird sells a laser cut bracket that bolts to your original drum brake spindles to which you can attach calipers. Not sure if they have a set that works with 14" wheels but it wouldn't hurt to ask.

Just find a donar car. Any 68 and up will work. Including working on 14 inch rims.
