The 1968 Chevrolet Camaro is an iconic vehicle, embodying the spirit of American muscle cars. As enthusiasts and collectors seek to restore and enhance these beauties, one upgrade stands out: optimizing the brake system. Our upgrades, brought to you by The Right Stuff, are not just about keeping up with modern times; it's about elevating performance, safety, and reliability. In addition to being the home for The Right Stuff, we also house the trusted Trim Parts lineup. Trim Parts has a wide assortment of parts for your 1968 Camaro, from interior and exterior trims to 1967-68 Camaro SS emblems. Dive into our extensive collection and discover the perfect Trim Parts to bring life back to your classic beauty.
One of the best ways to upgrade your 1968 Camaro is by converting the drum brakes to disc brakes. The decision to convert from drum brakes to disc brakes is driven by several key factors:
Enhanced Performance
Disc brakes offer superior stopping power, especially under heavy braking. Their design efficiently dissipates heat, preventing the "brake fade" seen in drum brakes, ensuring your classic car performs at its best from the front wheel to the rear wheel.
Consistent Braking in Diverse Conditions
Disc brakes provide consistent performance, even in wet conditions. Unlike drum brakes, they effectively shed water, maintaining their efficiency in various weather scenarios, ensuring your classic Camaro is ready for any drive.
Brake Master Cylinder
The brake master cylinder (essential for motor vehicle safety) is a critical component of a vehicle's braking system. It converts the mechanical force from the brake pedal into hydraulic pressure, which is then used to actuate the brake calipers or wheel cylinders. This hydraulic pressure facilitates the slowing or stopping of the vehicle when the brake pedal is pressed.
Brake Booster & Master Cylinder Kits
We also sell brake booster and master cylinder combo kits. Brake boosters, a popular aftermarket part, are designed to reduce the effort required by the driver to apply the brakes. It achieves this by amplifying the force applied to the brake pedal using either vacuum or hydraulic pressure. Vacuum boosters, a product of General Motors' innovation, are the most common and utilize the vacuum generated by the engine to amplify the brake pedal force. In contrast, hydro-boosters use hydraulic pressure from the vehicle's power steering pump to provide the necessary amplification. Both systems aim to ensure efficient and responsive braking with minimal effort from the driver.
Cables, Hoses, and Pre-Bent Tubing
For car enthusiasts beginning a restoration project of the iconic 1968 Chevrolet Camaro, finding the right parts can be difficult. At RPUI, we are proud to offer an extensive range of 1967-69 Camaro parts, ensuring your classic Camaro is not only restored but is enhanced beyond the original factory specifications. In addition to disc brake conversion kits, master cylinders, brake boosters, and other brake components we sell essential cables, hoses, and pre-bent tubing that play a pivotal role in the vehicle's functionality.
