i know a lot of stock cars have one built into the abs/master.. not an adjustable one but itd bias the pressure itself.
I ask because the 4 wheel drum mustang i have now has 4 wheel disc breaks, but i havent decided on a factory disc setup or a wilwood unit to match the master/breaks.

Oof, thats a ton of work...stupid benz with the huge steering box right where the exhaust should go. This is what scared me off from doin this to moms W126 chassis. Looks good though, I always likes the 190 in clean white, dark windows and some simple rims. Gonna be a sweet tire smoker

Using the Nissan short axle (2ea LH) on both site.
That way I do not have to shorten the axle or re-spline, using the Nissan CV and the Nissan wheel hub & splines. Using the Benz wheel bearing and machining the Nissan hubs to fit the Benz bearings. Using complete Benz brake assy. Very easy to fit with the Nissan hubs. Yes Benz with 114.5 x 5 bolt spacing.
See pictures this drop box link.

Has anyone finished one of these projects? I really would like to do this conversion, already have the car. But if someone has already done it, it would be great to see the finished product. Also would be nice to learn from any issues they may have had. Great car to start with.
