Re: [Chrysler300] Front Disc Brake Conversion on 300K Ram? (AAJ Brake Kit)

[thomas r denkler <tdenkler3853@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you don't use/need the old booster, I could use it.

I am trying to return a 300 J to all original, and the only part I can't find is that funky remote brake booster in the fenderwell.

I probably would be smarter to convert like you did, but I forgot to get in the "smarts" line after I grew up(or whenever I do grow up!)

Thanks,

Tom Denkler
