Front Disc Brakes - MC and Booster Change Needed?

[dirtypa]

All,

I have a 1969 Charger with front disc brakes and drums in the rear. My question is, can i use the stock master cyclinder and booster if i wanted to put a set a slotted and drilled rotors and some Wilwood brakes on the front? I have a stock config now.

The booster could be upgraded to a dual diaphragm type to provide more assist, but the stock one in good working condition will be fine.

The master needs changed to one with 1 1/8" bore for power assist conversion, residual pressure valve in the lines up front removed(just do new brake lines altogether up front) and either an adjustable type proportioning valve, or one that's designed for front disc/rear drum.

Wilwood and The Right Stuff have (nearly) everything you need

Use Wilwoods stuff throughout, T.R.S. has great lines pre bent ready to go, & definitely spring for the Wilwood front hoses in braided stainless steel if you're using their calipers.

Master will need to be changed. Drum units have a residual check valve in them that is overcome by the brake shoe return springs. Disc units have no spring pressure to push back on the valve. Get one for your disc/drum combo or 4 wheel disc if thats the way you are going. If you keep your existing drum unit, the disc brakes will not unlock.
