    I need information from everybody using the M1D disc brake brackets.
    I have decided I better have another batch of brake brackets made up.
    But before I do so I need feedback from current users.

    If you are using the M1D brackets please email me at m1dadio@shaw.ca tell me what you like and don't like about this brake bracket. Give me any suggestions you have for improvement. And anything else you wish to comment both positive and negative. Also tell me if you are 1st or 2nd gen van and if possible give me the part numbers of the flex hoses you used and the caliper you used.

    Future disc brake installers will thank you as I do now.

    For my disc conversion I used calipers from a 71 Chevy Van, also a proportioning valve designed for the same model.

    And I had to replace my 14" ET wheels with 15".
