57 Belair Kit

Reviewed by ocamaro on 05/09/2023

I bought the front disc conversion with 8" booster kit in gold for my 57 Belair with 14" wheels and 4 wheel drum breaks. Everything fit well accept for interferance with the factory generator by 3/16" and having to bend the oil dipstick tube a bit. I have the original SBC 283 engine in the car. Ended up getting a smaller belt for the generator which allowed enough clearance.

Very nice kit.

Everything is included as stated. Just had to fabricate a vacuum line. The instructions could be a little clearer in places (the pictures are useless). The bearing hub caps needed to be modified to fit (grind a taper onto them to get them started and then use a big socket to seat them). Brake lines are nice, but definitely need two people to feed them through. You need about 16" of clearance from the firewall to the end of the master cylinder/proportioning valve, so I had to replace my generator with an alternator (something I've been wanting to do anyways). My original 14" wheels fit fine with this kit. I didn't have to re-drill the spindle to install the cotter pin like some other kits require. I definitely recommend this kit if you want to keep your original 14" wheels.
