SO-CAL BUICK-STYLE DISC BRAKES AT EARLY TIMES AUTOS

Want the traditional look of Buick drums without giving up the stopping power of discs?

Early Times Autos has the answer with these So-Cal Buick-style front disc brake assemblies, hiding modern braking hardware neatly inside those unmistakable finned drum covers. Available with either polished or unpolished alloy drum covers, the assemblies feature stamped stainless steel backing plates, polished stainless air intake scoops, and Wilwood-style four-piston alloy callipers with pads. Hubs, bearings and seals are also included, making this a comprehensive package for traditional hot rods where appearance matters just as much as performance.

You’ll need to supply your own stub axles, and the assemblies require a minimum 15-inch wheel for clearance.

It’s a neat bit of hot-rod trickery: vintage Buick drum attitude on the outside, disc-brake business hidden behind it.

It's only fair to share...
