1962 Tempest

PostPosted: Mon Nov 01, 2021 4:09 pm    Post subject: Front Brake Disc Conversion Reply with quote

Does anyone know about a front brake conversion to disc for a 1961 Tempest. It appears that the 62 Chevy Nova may possibly work. Does anyone know?

Thanks

John

I do not see any of the major disc conversion sources offering anything for the early Tempests. I would, however call someone like Scarebird or Classic Disc Brakes to ask them if they have plans to offer such or know of someone who does.

However.... with a little more searching we found a place called BCCP who DOES have 1961-63 Tempest disc brake conversion kits. Go to:

Your thought about a Nova may not work. because the spindle is more or less the starting point with such a conversion, I looked up the Tempest spindles in the Hollander Interchange Manual and the '61-63 Tempest spindles do not interchange with anything else.

Let us know how this all works out for you.

Yes Thank you very much. I've been in contact with Ben at BCCP and he is preparing a quote to the parts.

Very Helpful.
