I am a newbie here but wanted to spread kudos for the Disc brake system I installed on my 65.
I went to the local junk yard and was told that OLD Granada parts would be 350 Dollars.Yeah, Right... And then I would need to rebuild, buy new pads, bearings , etc. My Estimated cost was going to be 550 and lots of running around and time.
I found a website http://www.discbrakeswap.com/body_index.html that looked really good and took PayPal. I sent 4 emails to Dennis, the owner, and he answerered EVERY question within 3 hours. I ordered ALL NEW parts for THE COMPLETE change out including new master cylinder for $525 plus $70 shipping and handling!!!!
I ordered it and 5 days later it was at my door. Everything complete and new. Dennis also has incredibly detailed instructions on his site to install it.

It went on and was completed in 1 day.
It was nice working with all new parts and having EVERYTHING!
I am 1 happy camper...

Good to hear personal feedback from someone who has tried the CSRP "Grenada" brake swap. It's just hard to believe that you can have basically the same system other places are selling for $800 to $1,200 for under $600. But, based on your post, it sounds like CSRP supplies quality parts for that price.

RE: Brake Conversion

Dang, I didn't realize Granada parts were that expensive!! I just picked up complete spindles, rotors, calipers and prop valve for $50 last weekend for my wife's 66. I guess I got a decent deal....I might have to start buying them from local yards and eBaying them...
