Is there a front disc brake conversion kit available for 1957 Ford cars?. Over time I've seen incomplete info on cobbling together parts thru salvage yards & auto parts stores but nothing comprehensive in the way of a reasonably complete kit of new parts.. Recently I found one outfit, Classic Brakes in Texas that listed a kit, but an e mail went unanswered & afterwards I read there return policy, which includes a 20% restocking charge & in store credit only policy, which nixs doing any business with them. Has anybody found a satisfactory kit elsewhere?. Thanks
Paul

Guys, thanks for the info.. American brake systems seems to have a fairly comprehesive setup to fit a 1957 car.. however, their web site is dated 2010 (are they still in business?) & the hang up for me is shipping to Canada. It states that 1st shipments must go directly to the credit card billing address & that UPS will not ship to a Postal drop box. (in Blaine Washington). Those two requirements will cost me extra for brokerage charges & additional handling & raises the possibility of extra import duties & taxes, if the parts are not described properly. Will have to look into it further. .. My e mail to Drop & Stop was answered eventually & the basics sounded o.k. However, 57 cars are fairly low compared to 55-56 cars & I'm not sure I want a dropped front end, in part because in my durisdiction, British Columbia, my car is licensed & insured as a "stock" collector car. Safety upgrades are permited, but that does not include lowering the car.. Things to ponder. Thanks anyway.. have mail at napa in blain no issues,tell cn customs its for 57 ford safety be nice most likely right threw no tax
