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

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.

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.
