Re: Solid to vented brakes?

["Ewan Hopkins" <ewanhopkins@hotmail.com>]

I did this conversion on my wife's '86 GT and it was a straight swap.  I 
think though, that the pads, when new, are thicker for solids than for 
vented... depending how new your pads are you might have to change them 
if you are not doing so anyway.
