Anyone know where i can get a bolt on front disc brake kit for a late type one (balljoint)? Meaning the kind with the brackets so the spindles dont have to be removed. Thanks

If i am not mistaken you may have to change the spindle no matter what because the stock drum spindle wont accpet the rotor.

SoCal Imports, CNC, Neal, CSP just to name a few of your options.

The only sell the ones you have to replace the spindles. I rememeber about a year ago I saw a balljoint disk brake kit on a website with a bracket that allowed the changeover without changeing the stock spidles. I dont remember what the web site was. :cry:

You might want to check your facts again......none of those kits require a spindle change. I have the SoCal Wide 5 kit and no spindle change is necessary.

4 lug, you didnt mention that at first. Your only hope might be the bracket that Things Unlimited sells to adapt 4 lug disc brakes onto a Thing spindle. Im not sure the bracket will work with a Bug spindle, but it might. Give Mike a call and find out.

Actually if thats the case then I should just switch to a thing front end LOL. thanks for the tip.
