Re: Informal poll - 1948-52 F-1 Front Disc Kit
'48-52 Ford F-1 front disc kit completed. It was a "wash" AFA weight difference between 11" drum & 11" disc,
(38# a side for the drum setup I took off and 40# for the disc I installed.... 2# weight penalty goes to the disc, roughly the weight of the pads)
Stops like a big dog now, no pulling and no squealing. Pads are EBC red. Front to rear bias required a slight adjustment of my Speedway compact proportioning valve; which wouldn't have been necessary with less aggressive front pads.
I'm probably not going to market this kit; my market survey results didn't support going that way.
