John, Do you have any additional details about this conversion? Any
specifics about the bracket? I assume the SAAB rotor and hat are off
of the rear? Where did he mount the rotors; towards the front or back
of the axle, etc? Did he use the same master cylinder? Does the
bracket just bolt onto the old drum backing plate or does it go to the
axle flange? Whatever info you have or can get would make the
conversion much easier. Thanks in Advance, Joe(B)
