MaxGrip Lite 4-Piston Power Front Disc Brake Conversion for 1957-1962 Full-Size Ford & Mercury | Y-Block Engines | Black Calipers

Upgrade your classic 1957-1962 full-size Ford or Mercury with a MaxGrip Lite 4-piston power front disc brake conversion kit from LEED Brakes. Designed specifically for vehicles equipped with Y-block engines and factory manual drum brakes, this kit converts your original manual braking system to power front disc brakes for improved braking performance, safety, and reliability.

This conversion kit features MaxGrip Lite 4-piston aluminum calipers with a black powder-coated finish, MaxGrip XDS cast iron rotors, a new power brake booster, master cylinder, and brake lines. The kit mounts directly to your vehicle's original front drum brake spindles, eliminating the need for replacement spindles.

Designed for direct bolt-on installation with no cutting, drilling, or welding required, this kit includes new, high-quality, precision-machined components. The calipers are designed to clear factory sway bars and accommodate most original Ford 14-inch and larger disc brake wheels.
