Question 71 catalina disc brakes on a 70 lemans?

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could tell me if a front disc brake set up from a 1971 catalina would fit on a 1970 lemans with front drum brakes. Thanks for any input.

Nope...different type spindles, bigger bolt pattern for the wheels on the catalina.

Another option for putting disc brakes on the front is to use a setup from this guy. http://www.scarebird.com/4436.html
