    Hey team, I recently purchased a disc conversion kit for the front of my '51 truck. The bolt on statement seems to be true, but I see that the bolt on caliber bracket moves only about an inch before it hits the stop bracket on the straight axle when I turn the wheels to the rear. Anyone who's done this conversion, did you have to alleviate the stop brackets or grind down the caliber bracket enough to clear the stop bracket?
    Thanks in advance

    My New caliper brackets that came in my kit clear the stock stops completly I need to weld on bigger pieces so theyll hit the new brackets. my truck is a 1950 if that makes any difference.
