Default disk brake

So i was looking at www.diskbrakeswap.com

SWAP.2 Classic Ford Disc Brake Swap Kit This kit includes everything needed to swap out your front drum brakes for OEM style disc brakes. All new parts including a spindles kit, refurbed cardone calipers, Raybestos made semi-metallic pads, brake hoses, adjustable proportioning valve, major brand refurb master cylinder, bearings, seals, a 22 piece small parts kit, and performance slotted rotors. Note that you will need to adapt or refab your hard brake lines to accommodate the proportioning valve, the master cylinder, and the brake hoses.

only 545 dollars?
This is really all i need?

Looks like a great price. Is that a adjustable proportioning valve with the kit?

yeah i bought mine a few weeks ago. - it all comes in pieces so you gotta build it all yourself but everything looks good even fi the bearings are all chinese and stuff comes with a proportioning valve 1 in 1 out, so you need to use your original combination valve but everything else is great. comes in 2 heavy *** boxes, around 110lbs total.

My vision is going but does the kit include a master cylinder? I was squinting in there and thought that I saw one….if so, I will add this to my dream list of crap to upgrade in the far future.

There is no 'combo valve' in drum brake cars. There's a distribution block, but that's not the same thing. Ideally you should get the combo valve and adjustable proportioning valve from them and plumb them both in.

The kit has evolved a bit since I wrote that description. The kit now has all new parts. Additionally, italso now includes an adjustable pushrod for manual brake application and a 10 lbs residual pressure valve (despite common belief, new and rebuilt MC do not have a residual pressure valve in the rear circuit). The current price is $525 + S&H.

I obviously am better at manufacturing brake systems than publishing a web page. I have had problems finding someone to build a site that meets my specification.
