    63 marauder disk brake conversion

    Hello, I’d like to do a drum to disk brake conversion for my marauder. Just wondering if anyone has done this and if they have recommendations on what kit to get. With my luck, the one I order won’t fit. Thanks! (Rims are 14”)

    This is the one I was trying to remember
    1963 Marauder S-55, Super Marauder 406
    Only factory 406 powered Marauder, and earliest built Marauder documented to still exist.
