t-3 brakes on a 73 irs super
 

hi all,

i have a 73 super and i want late t-3 brakes on the back because im gettin disks in the front. so my question can i just bolt up t3 brakes to my super? i've got a good deal on some and i kinda want to buy them because i've heard that they have better stopping power than stock bug drums.


any help would be great, bow

any help please all i really want to know is will if give me avanced stopping power

Hi

Its great upgrade. They bolt straight on, you must use the backing plates as well.

ok thanks i got a set for the back and some front airkewled "bad" disks are those any good

Hi

Im not sure what you mean by the front disk type?

Steve

its the disk seires from airkewled.com

By all accounts when I did my investigating, the Type 3 drums on the rear is a good upgrade (even though I went with rear disks). I would spend the few dollars more and get the TopLine front disks, though, over the Airkewld.

I fully understand the concept of a tight budget but we are talking brakes here. There are lots of interesting choices with vastly different price points. I think cutting corners beyond the cost TopLine's front disks is foolish. My opinion only.

ok thanks for the pointer also should i convert my master cyclender when i do this conversion?

I didn't need to. I didn't need a proportioning valve either.
