I am thinking about picking up a set of Mini knuckles for my 78. I just rebuilt my axle like 6 months ago and is has not run at all. If I get the mini knuckles, (I'm doing so for Hy-steer options), do all of my 78 cruiser parts just bolt right up - esp. my 78 disc brakes? Also, does anyone know who makes a good rear axle disc swap for a 78 cruiser rear. I am tired of messing with brakes all the time and want to go discs all around. Also, how about ebrake on said rear discs? Thanks- Keith

i BELEIVE YOU CAN US MINI TRUCK KNUCKLES , IF YOU USE THE MINI HUBS , YOU NEED TO CHANGE TO MINI BERFEILDS !!

Search! You can swap everything across, just keep the steering arms shims from the mini arms in their correct relationship to the mini housing as they came off...

All good bolt-on rear disc sources.

Everything will Transfer to the mini knuckles besides your steering arms and lower bearing retainer.

thanks - I had forgotten about the lower bearing caps having a different pattern also. I am thinking about doing this to the axle and picking up Marlins Hy-Steer. I found a guy in CA that has a set of knuckles for 65 shipped to KY. Is this a good deal? Does anybody have a better one? I have been having some brake problems and I am wanting to switch to the discs. I think that I can have a friend machine the rotors, and I have a great hook up at a local parts counter, and I think I can get the GM parts cheaper there than having them shipped in. Another question, what about the MC and booster? If I were to go to OEM Discs front, and GM discs w/E-brake, what would be the suggested way to go with M/C and booster? I have had zero luck with getting a firm pedal after new front calipers, SS extended lines, and new shoes and pads all around, and I am begining to think about replacing the last 2 pieces in the puzzle. I have heard and searched and there seems to be many options, both GM and Toy, but with my proposed set up on a SOA that's already done and sitting on 35's with a 2F, what would be your opinion? Thanks and Happy Holidays-
