Labor charge for F-body front brake conversion

The Mach Says

Ty dreamer
So the first thing I'll have to do is some caliper/rotor/pad work on my "new to me" Ty, and after some research and advice from a fellow member, started looking at the F-body conversion kit (keeping stock tires & wheels for a while, so can't do the C5 conversion).

So I looked thru the Renzfab site for the conversion kit and instruction on how to modify the spindle...given the right tools, and if I had a higher risk tolerance, I might have attempted...but the last thing I want to do is botch up that cut and ruin my spindles...so with that said, what should I expect as far as labor cost for this type of work, if I took it to a local shop here that's pretty familiar with Turbo Regals (KDK Performance)...before I called and asked them, thought I'd get the consensus here first...I figure if I need to do brake work, might as well consider the upgrade for just a little more...


thanks,
JC

Mike offered to modify spindles for $150 back in the day. Buy new ball joints in the meantime...Jim

All that's need is the excellent step by step color instructions Mike made for this if you bought his adapter kit. Follow it and keep test fitting the bracket until you can bolt it on. Clean everything up and give it a quick shot of paint, add the new ball joints as mentioned above.
