Hey guys,

I want to change my 71 scamps front drums to discs and found this kit from a company called scarebird....saw it on the forabodiesonly forum in a thread and it looks like a great deal.... here is the link

i don't know but scarebird and brakes in the same sentence just isn't right.

not too concerned about the name, just the performance and reliability

For a low budget salvage yard scrounger like me I think scarebird has come out with some good products, if and when I do my rear disc conversion on my charger is will likely use his bracket and parts list to do it. I have emailed him before and he will get right back to you but otherwise nobody I know of in my location has used his products yet.

I have them on my '67 right now.  With the /6, its not a bad setup.  The only hard part was re-drilling the rotors to fit the hub.  I eventually had the hub re-drilled to match the rotors instead.  Iv'e been running them for about two years now.  In fact i ordered mine before he was even a legit company.  I believe they have changed the combo since i bought mine.  The brackets however were top quality.  I would never run them with a big block but I probbly would with a stock small block.  I wound up just running a 73 master cylinder and the caddilac brake hoses, and it stopped on a dime.  I WOULD reccomend to anyone running a stock car.  A lot of people have complained online about them, but if you cant afford willwoods, they beat the stock drums all to hell!

Any questions let me know.  If you want, i could probly get out and take some pictures of the setup on my car.

I have had mine for years and they work great. Way better then drums.

My car will be a street/strip car, but mostly street, and it will have a pretty fair 340 in it so these should be able to do the job....anything other than the stock drums is good for me

I used a kit from here:
no fitment issues, came quickly, fit under 14" ralleye rims, came with everything needed to get the 9 inch drums off the car, the 10 inch drums in back work fine.

Mine has manual and the adjustable prop valve.

So far that I've seen, it would not be possible to fit with a 14" stock dog dish. 15" should cut it though.

   Ihave tried to run 14" dog dish wheels and they dont clear the rotors, however, they do clear ralleys and aluminum wheels.

It's cause of the inner frames, it might be possible just to clean those inner reinforcements up a bit and get them to clear...
