Brake conversion?

[john108]

68 Charger R/t power drum brakes.
I am looking into a front disk brake conversion.
I visited a high quality restoration/paint shop and they recommended:
Master Power Brakes.

Does anyone have experience with them.
I did a search, on this site, and didn't find applicable information.

Narrow your search parameters a bit and keep looking, there have been at least a couple of dozen threads relating to brake upgrades on here historically.

You may be better off with factory style parts from The Ram Man or Pirate Jack.

Dr. diff is all you need.

Dr. diff is all you need.

Got my front disc brake kit from Dr.Diff. It's a huge improvement over stock drums, worth the price.

I just had front power disk brake kit from MPBrakes installed on my
69. It's their basic kit for an OEM power drum brake car.
Outstanding product period.
I bought a similar conversion kit from them for a Chevelle
several years ago and was sold. The quality of the kits from
MPB is excellent and their customer service is top notch.
You can spend more cash for another brand with more bells
and whistles but if you just need an OEM disk brake convo
go MPB.

Same here, but I have their manual kit on my '68. They come pre-assembled so installation is a cinch. It is a very stock appearing kit, calipers were new Chrysler parts also.
You'll have to add the disc prop and hold off valve, and either change or modify the main front/rear brake line. I changed it. Very happy with the performance of the kit.

Thank you all
I see that there are a few recommendations for Brake conversions above.  The all seem to be good.
Two members did refer to the "Master Power Brakes" that were recommended by the restoration shop that I visited.
I see that I have a few choices.

I have an additional question about Brake Vacuum Boosters and I think I will start a new thread.

Just make sure when you buy proportion and hold off valves that you get from a known company , lots of cheap nock off stuff ( Chinese copy's ) and you will be buying twice if not careful
