Default 69 rivi brake help needed

The brakes are shot and it has drum brakes all around. I have been unable to find rebuild kits for the brakes and I've also tried to find a disc brake coversion kit for the front brakes with no success. The only parts that I can get a hold of are shoes, adjusting levers, and starwheels. Anyone know where I can get the spring kits or a disc brake conversion kit? Please help.

AutoZone says they have all parts until depleted. Might try them.

Go to www.v8Buick.com. Plenty of help there. Also, one of our members, screen name "Yardley" has this web page dedicated to his 69 Riviera.

He can answer any question you have

Thanks. I had put new shoes all around this spring and wheel cylinders. I bled the lines good but when I drove it was like now pressure. I think I'm going to just replace the master cylinder and booster too. And also it was like I had no power steering so I gotta figure that out too.
