Looking to convert from drum brake to disc brakes on a 1971 challenger using  everything from a 1971 charger .
Anyone know if this is a complete bolt in deal. I know the suspension parts are the same obviously but my conecern is in the underdash parts such as linkages, pivots etc.
I've already talked to booster dewey for the booster restoration and he couldn't confirm or deny my concerns

ALL the same. Make sure you have the "double pivot" linkage from the booster to pedal and the drum/disk proportioning valve. These sometimes get forgotten.

Any chance you could take pics during the conversion and do a how-to thread?


Thanks and watch those knuckles during the job!

ahve done htis, all works.  As stated, BE SURE to get the "pivot" linkage that connects to the brake pedal and the booster actuator rod.  Good luck.

Thank you fellas, I was pretty sure it was all the same. But wanted confirmation. We have everything as removed from the doner 71 charger.
This is for a local customer of mine so I'll see about getting pics as it goes forward  :2thumbs:
