I am 98% decided on a disk brake conversion for my '66 Toro (Otto I know your opinion on this, I live in the Rockies and I will be descending long steep mountain passes).
My question: any recommendations for manufacturers/suppliers of a conversion kit, and more so, ANY NIGHTMARE STORIES? ... I want to avoid one of those. I will do my best to get U.S. made.
Thanks in advance!

Re: disk brake conversion
I think the easiest way to do this is to source a complete brake system from a 1967 Toronado. This will be an essentially bolt-on system and be sure to work properly without having to re-invent the wheel.
You'll have to get a set of 1967 wheels as well because '66 rims won't work with '67 spindles/discs.
Contact John Dorcy to see if he has the parts you need.
