Announcing a new addition to the garage. This past weekend I picked up a 1958 Bugeye. It is in good restorable condition with the only rust being on the floors. A bit of restoration will be in it's f

Datsun 5-speed( the best thing you can do to a Spridget). The disc brake swap is as doable. You need a donor car to give you calipers, uprights, dust shields, hubs and spindles. Remove same from you

Just finished my taxes and for the first time in years I get money back, not much but I don't have to cut a check! Now if I can get the marginal rate under 20% I will be in hog heaven. Back on topic

You will also need to change the master Cyl. If you use the bug eye one the bore is wrong and the pedal pressure will be very high and the brake balance will be off.Go with the first generation that

I did not bother, after all they do not do much. 75% of your braking ,esp on a light in the rear car like a sprite is done by your front brakes.

Actually that's not correct. It is the distribution of the weight rather than the total weight that determines how much harder the front brakes work than the back. A front wheel drive car works the f

Well what do ya reckon the percent of the work the front and back brakes do is? Maybe 60 % front and 40% rear...or closer to 50% 50%..? Ideas??

The only time in "normal" driving that the brakes would need to be "fully exploited" would be in a near panic stop, wherein weight transfer......well, you see where I'm going with this, obviously. I

My bug eye is converted from the standard drum/ drum to disc/ drum using doner stuff from a later car..including the master cylinder. Pedal pressure is not high at all. Car stops faster and much more

If you check on the tiger board you will see the recuring prob. The brakes will "hang on". There is an unobtanable spring that when it gets weak will allow the master to keep enough pressure on that
