Search the site for "Scarebird". You will find a bunch of threads about them asking the same questions. In those threads, you will find a couple other recommendations of disk brake setups, but I think the Scarebird is the cheapest, and also arguably one of the easiest to get parts for long-term...

There was no such thing as 4 wheel disc brakes in 1968... at least not on a Dodge Dart lol On any old car, it's best to really look at what you need first. RockAuto says 1968 has 2 rear hoses too.

Unless you're looking for drapes for your Dart, here's the fine lines website: http://www.finelinesinc.com/ :glasses7:

Exactly. Application is what the rotor is for, but it's still a Bendix, Raybestos, or whatever, so what difference does the application make? It's not like it's a "GM" part!

Yeah, that's another option. I could probably be persuaded from my Kelsey-Hayes set (since I'm so nearby!), though I don't necessarily think it's the best option... but not a bad one.

The Scarebird conversion will. Depending on what calipers you get, you may have to grind down a tiny bit for clearance, but others should fit just fine. I'm not sure about any other kits. I'm going Scarebird, so have done the most research on that setup.

Exactly what BillGrissom said. If you were very nearby, I'd show you how to do 'em while doing them for you. I have a really weird fetish of sorts for brakes, whether drums or discs. I find it relaxing to work on them, and love the look of 100% all new brake parts. Hmmmmmm... I'm strange. I...

You might be making this too hard, but that depends on your overall plans for the car. Obviously, putting on better brakes right now would really be ideal, but you could rebuild your current setup real quick and cheap. I was skeptical at what oklacarcollecto said above about them having your...

Mancini sells one too.

This happened to me on one of the drums of my 72 a couple years ago. I was able to use a RBFH to tap the drum off. Think a motion like you're playing tug-of-war, hitting the back edge of the drum with the "bottom" of the RBFH's head. (What I was actually using specifically was a small...

Someone may have a homebrew solution to offer you, but I took mine to CarQuest's machine shop and they swapped them for me. I don't remember how much it cost now, but it wasn't much.

Glad I got my front (and rear of course) 10" drums when I could. If the GTS ever needs new fronts, it'll be installing discs for sure. I'm sure you're right that the 9" rears won't be made again, there's hardly any demand. The stash of new ones I have now should last the rest of my lifetime, but...

I thought it was just the REAR 10" SBP that were hard to find. I've had no trouble at all getting the 10" SBP FRONT ones, unless that's changed very recently too. Now, 9" front drums are another story altogether. I think I must have bought the last new pair in existence last year (stupid move in...

Ah, yes, I didn't read far enough! I'm too far away anyway, so this is better, I know I'm not missing out on an 8.25!

I gotcha, no problem. Just wondering. I just didn't want someone to haul off and do something without realizing all their options, that's the only reason I mentioned it. I did that, then regretted it later LOL. I get where you're coming from in a budget build. Carry on then! EDIT: I agree that...

OK, sorry for maybe asking what might be a stupid question, but why would you swap drums for drums? Just use the very cheap Scarebird conversion to cheaply and easily add disc brakes to your car and make it 4.5 pattern at the same time. It's the all-around win solution here. The only reason I...

Wow, okay, talk about throwing out the baby with the bathwater!

I second the Scarebird conversion suggestion. Probably the cheapest unless you score another disk setup cheap, and I'd say definitely the easiest to convert to since you don't even have to change the spindles. I did the same thing on my '72, even spent a while looking for what seemed like the...

RockAuto has not had them for quite some time now.

110mm is 4.33 inches. It's not going to fit.

Sweet, so where did you end up finding some? The usual sources, or you didn't uncover some thus far unknown secret stash, did you? :) They're still out there, just not usually the simple parts store order anymore.

Good luck with that (see the post #13... this has come up in the other threads as well). Do a search here on the forums for "BD60123" and you will see some of the many recent threads about this exact same subject.

There's been a bunch of threads lately that go exactly this same way. Looking... RockAuto has them... no, wait they don't... help! I started one of those threads, and Oklacarcollecto sent me looking at ebay, where I found and bought some. They still turn up there occasionally. Or, look for some...

rockauto has most of the spring/hardware kits for a few bucks each. I bought a bunch awhile back to last me the rest of my life, just in case they're ever somehow unavailable. They're so cheap, you wouldn't not replace them. Rockauto stuff is so cheap, especially their closeout stuff, I actually...

Yes, the rear is not out of a '68 because they didn't come with them. Do as stated above. Once you figure out what brakes you need, I would get a brake hardware kit (springs, keepers, etc, one kit will do both sides), new shoes, and new wheel cylinders, and new hoses. Usually the adjustment...

Right, that's what I mean. The ebay ones are cheaper.

$118 each is considerably more than the ebay ones. Of course, if those dry up.....

Cool, there are more on ebay now. Weird, those say new, but then at the bottom, they say used. I think they're new. That's in the vicinity of what I paid for my pair, and I think they're the same ones.

Get ahold of whitepunkonnitro (user here on FABO). He may still have some used ones left. Finding nice used is pretty much your best bet at this point, or wait to see if some new ones turn up on ebay again. I got the last ones I saw pop up on ebay that Oklacarcollecto pointed me to and paid...

I can't answer but why do you say minus new wheels are tires? Do you mean you have 13" wheels now? You can keep SBP with ScareBird, which is one of the advantages of it (assuming wanting to keep SBP is an advantage for someone like it is for me).
