Re: Disk brake swap on 1972 Gremlin.which is better

["Steven F. Brueggeman" <gonzo@xxxxxxxx>]

Joe,

I installed the disc setup from a '77 Gremlin on my '73 Gremlin. The rotors
and calipers are available at Autozone. Not sure what you mean by 'pin'
type. Mine has the single piston and the caliper is milled so it slides on
the mount.
