[Healeys] BN1/BN2 disc brake conversion

[warthodson at aol.com]

Ray,
In a way, that was what I was trying to ask. Yes, I would consider that, if
there were some safety/performance advantage. Or price advantage. The reason I
was considering a "kit" is because presumably it would include everything
necessary to make the conversion. I'll contact Dave Nock & request a quote.
Thanks,
Gary

    Have you thought about swapping out your BN-1 spindles and  drums for 3000
parts.  I'm sure Dave Nock can supply the parts and details.  Should save a
little on the Dennis Welch price.  Just sayin'

I have a '53 BN1 which I plan to convert to front disc brakes. I plan to
purchase a kit from one of the many suppliers offering kits. Some preliminary
research indicates that some suppliers offer one kit that fits both BN1 & 2
while others offer separate kits for BN1 & BN2. Is there a difference & when
did the change occur? Assuming there is a difference and assuming I have
there
earlier version, should I consider converting to the later version? I.E. is
there a significant safety/performance advantage for the later version? If
you
have installed one of these conversion kits did you have any issues with the
kit that I should know about?
Thanks,
Gary Hodson
