OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE
NOSTALGIC
DISC BRAKE CONVERSION
FROM
OBRIEN TRUCKERS
What you’re looking at is a new
front disc brake kit for purists, now available from O’BRIEN TRUCKERS. These
folks have come up with a way to combine Wilwood disc brake stopping power with
a classic look from the past that we love.
It’s hard to believe we’re
looking at a disc brake front end. The
kit uses a traditional-looking front backing plate that incorporates a very
attractive (and fully functional) cooling scoop, with what appears to be a
Buick-style finned brake drum. What’s
really going on behind this backing plate, however, is a whole other
story.
On the other side is Wilwood’s
Dynalite Pro Series Hub Kit, front-mounted, billet 4-piston calipers, pads,
vented rotors, and a set of custom caliper brackets. Price for the complete kit is $1595
unpolished, or $1795 polished.
O’BRIEN TRUCKERS specializes in aluminum speed equipment from the 50’s
era, including a broad range of authentic reproduction parts. They are also the
world’s largest producer of club plaques.
