I don't own either a Model T or Model A, I have a later year V8 flathead auto. Earlier this year I saw both a T and A with disk brakes on the front axles. I couldn't see any adapters and I must admit that the spindle & disk assembly sure looked likely were perfectly made for each other as if Henry had built them like that. I didn't have the opportunity to ask the owner if he bought a kit or fabricated them himself. (The rest of the vehicles were stock as far as I could tell.) Curiosity got the best of me and I looked through a few catalogs but couldn't locate any kits. Does anyone make a disk brake kit for the T and A? It's time to get this curiosity question out of my head. Thanks, Mike34
