    '69 bay. Difference between front and rear shocks?

    I'm not sure if you could make it work or not because I think rear shocks are longer and frimer (because of the weight at the back) and they may not fit properly and cause something bad to happen...

    front discs

    i've heard of csp front brake conversions, altough their price is steep (£800!) you can still retain that wide five stud pattern but the only snag is that it fits bays up to 1970 with a king link pin axle. I'm not sure if bays that early were fitted with king link pins or that they had been...
