am in the process (slowly) of fitting a set of front disk brakes to my 1967 Singer Chamois.
The parts came as a kit from Colin Valentine, he has supplied two full kits to Hout Bay this year, the other kits
were complete with calipers and discs. In my case I sourced them locally, being Ford Fiesta used calipers and new 240mm diameter
steel discs, which are really low priced here at R280 the pair, about twenty pounds?
This saved a lot on postage, as the small parts kit with mount plates, braided hoses and bolts weigh so much less.
Colin mentioned to check and service the caliper pot by using an airline and place a block of wood across it to stop it flying out, beware your fingers he added!
I tried the air line method but both pots were well stuck and would not move at all, the jig I made used brake fluid and the pots came out with very little problem at all.
Regards
Roy
