Title: 1946-47 Cadillac front disc brakes
Post by: jyinger on July 21, 2019, 11:48:46 PM
Have any of you installed front disc brakes which allow you to keep your original Cadillac wheels?

I did it on my 62 Cadillac kit said it would not fit 15s. I shaved  a hair off the back of the caliper with a softwheel disc on a grinder. Not sure if it will be the same for your 40s. I found a kit on ebay not sure if its the same as your looking at but i plan on getting it and running 15s. When i get to it.

Scarebird says later rims will fit the original covers.
