I tried to start installing my CPP Original Offset front disc brake kit on my 62 today. It keeps the wheels in the stock position, unlike many of the front disc conversions on the market. It's nice when you have aftermarket parts that install flawlessly. Unfortunately, that didn't happen today.
The hardware and instructions I have for the caliper brackets are clearly for the wrong kit (bolts too long, wrong bolts, etc.), I have spacers that make no sense, I'm missing some parts, and I'm not even sure the caliper brackets are the correct ones. It's a shame, because the rest of the parts are really nice and straightforward.
Fingers crossed that either CPP or Summit can help me figure this out and get me the right parts quickly, as now the car is without front brakes in the garage. I'm assuming the backorders and delays that CPP has right now resulted in the wrong parts ending up in my kit. More to follow...
