[Amc-list] Disk Brakes conversion

["John Eckersley" <john.eckersley@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am finally getting time to fit the disk conversion that I got a
while ago from APD to my 1968 Rebel SST convertible.  I've hit the
problem Jeff Barfield mentions in his excellent piece on this job on
the internet.  Namely, the flexible hose coming from the caliper has a
straight part on it that fouls the trunion.  Jeff says (on his
website) he got around this using a tube bender, but mine really
doesn't want to move.  He also says others haven't had the problem, so
I'm looking for help/inspiration from the list.  What I'm doing (in
slightly more detail) is fitting 82 concord disks, spindles, caliper
brackets and associated hardware to the car in place of the old 4 pot
bendix setup.  I'd ask Doug at APD, but it being Sunday, they aren't
around, and come Monday I'll have to wait another two weeks (min)
before I can get to work on the car again, so if anyone has any bright
ideas, I'd love to hear 'em.  Thanks.
