12-Inch Front LS Brake Swap Kit for 1967-1969 Camaro, 1964-1972 Chevelle & 1968-1974 Nova
When converting an LS swapped Camaro, Chevelle or Nova that retains drum spindles, the 12" Front Brake Swap Kit for Drum Spindles delivers a direct path to 12 inch disc brakes without the need for welding or machining. By using factory spindle bosses to mount four piston calipers and ventilated 12 inch rotors, this bolt on solution maintains correct rotor position and caliper alignment right from the start. Cast iron rotors draw cooling air through deep vents for fade resistance under repeated stops. Installation simply requires basic hand tools, a torque wrench and the included hardware package, making it an ideal choice for enthusiasts completing an LS swap on classic Chevy models.
Bolt On Bracket System Simplifies Drum Spindle Conversion
This kit uses the original factory spindle bosses to secure caliper mounting brackets directly to the drum spindle assembly without any welding or machining. Installers rely solely on basic hand tools and a torque wrench to achieve precise alignment, eliminating the need for fabrication skills or specialized equipment. Accurate rotor face positioning is ensured by factory boss mounting points, which maintain correct caliper clearance and rotor runout. Detailed instructions guide each torque step and hardware placement, reducing installation time and minimizing the chance of misalignment.
Ventilated Cast Iron Rotors for Improved Heat Management
Each 12 inch rotor is cast from a durable iron alloy selected for its thermal conductivity and structural integrity under heavy braking. Deep internal vent channels pull ambient air through the rotor core to dissipate heat away from friction surfaces, lowering the risk of brake fade during repeated or aggressive stops. Precision machining of the rotor faces and hat interface delivers tight tolerances, reducing vibration and ensuring a smooth pedal feel. This combination of mass and airflow control extends service life by resisting warping and maintaining consistent performance.
Four Piston Calipers with Premium Friction Pads
The four piston caliper design applies even clamp pressure across the rotor surface to maximize braking efficiency and pad life. Premium friction pads resist fade under high temperature conditions, delivering a firm initial bite and predictable modulation at the pedal. Corrosion resistant stainless steel pistons and fittings prevent moisture ingress and ensure smooth retraction after each stop. A rigid caliper body resists flex under load, translating driver input into linear braking response with consistent feel and confidence.
American Made Mounting Hardware for Lasting Stability
All brackets and fasteners in this kit are manufactured in the United States from high quality steel with a corrosion resistant finish that withstands road chemicals and moisture. Material thickness and hole placement are validated to match GM spindle specifications, delivering a precise fit on classic Camaro, Chevelle and Nova models. Included bolts, nuts and washers meet or exceed GM strength requirements to prevent loosening under hard stops. This robust hardware package maintains bracket alignment and pad clearance mile after mile, ensuring quiet operation without frequent adjustments.
Engineered for precise fit and reliable braking performance in your LS swap project.
