    hey all, just recently purchased my 1970 Maverick after sitting for 26 years, the brakes are there but a vague suggestion. I'm wondering what the most low-buck but solid way to convert to front disc. I've seen one kit on eBay for a 70-72 5-lug and I'm wondering if it's any good. https://www.ebay.com/itm/185293963464
    if not does anyone have any other recommendations on how to go about it?

    Of course...this will be a 5-lug conversion. Not sure if the above website offers a 4-lug set-up.

    Note that kit will not work on '69½,(early '70) as they used slightly smaller 1969 spindles.
