First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... I bought the AFXDC14 14" Power Disc Conversion kit. I called Right Stuff again and talked to another person there. He wasn't sure what to do about my problem. He said he never heard of it on a "F" body car but has on other cars. He told me that the kit I bought is made by this company http://www.abspowerbrake.com/camaro/6769camaro.html He gave me their number and said to call them to see what they can do to help. I called them and they told me that everything I received in the kit is it. There should be no reason to need any spacers or washers. After talking for a while he told me to try washers as long as the rotors spin freely. So after getting off the phone with him I went to the garage and got the washer off my drum brakes. Cleaned them up and they worked great. The rotors spin freely so hopefuly that fixed the problem. Then I went to put the dust caps on and they didn't fit either. UGH. So I went to the old ones, sandblasted and am going to paint them tomorrow. I could have gone the other way but I wanted to use the drum spindles that were on the car. I'm a little disappointed in the help I received from both places. Thanks again to everyone on the list for their input, we'll see how this all works.

First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... I was looking on their website, and it looks like the conversion kit should have included spindles. AFXDC0 AFXSD02 Is one of these the kit you bought?
