Front disk brakes for my 66 Valiant

no, i bought the set up as a kit from Scarebird, so it came with rotors they had bought and drilled
it also came with a template, in case i need new rotors and need them drilled locally i can

at some point there was talk about needing to radius the outer edge of the calipers but the ones in got cleared everything right out of the box

i would say the only part of this swap i could see needing more then a socket set would be the longer wheel lugs, if you felt the need to "properly" swedge them

i just gently tapped mine in with a hamer (or the back of the ratchet) and all is well


now, if you are doing a piece meal, get only the brackets and the instructions from scarebird and try to source everything else from rock auto, then yes, you would need to find a way to get the bolt pattern onto the rotors
my experience was entirely the opposite. i was installing the kit for a client and every aspect of it was a struggle. the majority of that was due to scarebird going in and out of business, but i don't think that to be a valid excuse for the over all poor experience.
