Hi Folks
I have a 1968 XT ford falcon (6 cylinder) with front and rear drums, and am wanting to upgrade to front disks with rear drums. Can I use the complete brake system out of an XF or XB model ford. Would I also be able to fit the master cylinder and booster between the firewall and driver shocker tower. Or would I need to mount the booster on the passenger side and the master cylinder on the drivers side like the XT GT's. Having said this is there anything I would need to do or pay attention to when making the transition to front disks.
Lastly if I were to simply stay with the original braking system, could I upgrade the drums to give a better performance, without having to channge the master cylinder.
your help appreciated

Hello John all is relatively simple here. You can update the front brakes by simply bolting on the stub axles off any XR-XG Falcon but there is one beware. If you use the front rotors off anything XC or later you will not be able to use your XT wheels as |
