Leigh Harrison Disc Brake System

[BenBuilding]

Hi Everyone,

I'm hoping that someone out there can point me in the right direction. I recently purchased a 1975 Glenbrook that Leigh Henderson had done an amazing amount of work on. With this purchase came 3 boxes of documentation that Leigh Henderson and Steve Lee had put together, including spiral-bound notebooks with meticulously handwritten notes.

Unfortunately, I can't find anything in his notes or online about the rear and middle brakes that he converted to disc. I found the records that confirm he did the conversion, but that's it.

Does anyone know what Leigh typically used for the rotors, pads, and calipers on his conversions?

Any help is appreciated.

Photos will help to confirm, if you could share that. Meanwhile, start here: https://www.gmcmotorhome.org/resources/disc-brake-upgrades-part-numbers-and-donor-vehicles.133/

Also, please note that it's Leigh Harrison, not Henderson.

Good luck!

I also talked to Dave Lenzi at a convention and he knows all about Leigh's modifications
( he said they were friends and worked together on several projects together )
He can help with info and getting parts.
hope this helps

Thank you! I knew it was Harrison, I'm not sure where Henderson came from. I'll post some pictures shortly

This is helpful and really appreciated. The documentation that I have is for the most part has been fantastic. He documented nearly everything, but for some reason I am missing the notebook that goes over the brakes and the brake boost.
