73+ factory disc one

I had to modify the calipers to fit my Dart. They hit without being modified. It just took a little time with a grinder to remove two small nubs on the calipers which are not needed on our cars. Other than that it was a pretty simple swap. I used a newer prop valve that I got from a member here.

Wilwood kits are VERY good, but also pricey

I went with the Scarebird option and I am pleased with it. One thing I like is the availability of parts if I need them.

After you blow them out you can spray brake clean into the lines then blow it out again to get dirt and other crude out of the lines.

They should be different sizes for disc if I am correct.

No problem

That is true, but I am going to the machine shop anyway so I will let them do it. I am VERY good at breaking things so I see this as a way to insure that I don't break things that I need.

So I finally got of my butt and started on this conversion. Master cylinder is removed and I have the brakes removed from the front. I have one side down to the bare spindle and test fitted one adapter, and it fit with no problem. I removed the wheel studs to install longer ones and also...

It didn't take long to find the first problem. I tried mounting the calipers on the brackets and they do NOT fit properly. I will need to take a little bit off the edge of the caliper to take it fit the bracket. Not a big deal, but it is a pain in the butt!

Yes it looks good, but I will find out for sure once I put the whole puzzle together. I just WON'T tell everyone that I have GM parts on my MOPAR!! LOL

Miss I only use factory parts is looking at this conversion that uses GM and Toyota parts! WHAT has this world come to!!!! LOL

I am going to test fit everything before final paint and assembly. I will try to remember to take lots of pictures, but I my memory is NOT what it once was, so we will see!

I was told that I need a proportioning valve so I bought one with lines from a member here. I also bough a master cylinder adapter so I could run the newer style two bolt master cylinder.

So I went ahead and bought the adapters from Scarebird to convert my 68 Dart to disc brakes. So far I have everything I need except for a new master cylinder. So now I need to get the rotors drilled for small bolt pattern and get at it. Let me know of any difficulties anyone had installing this...

x2!!

I bought a master cylinder adapter from a member here and he asked what I was going to run for a master cylinder, and that got me thinking. Would I gain anything by running a wildwood master cylinder as compared to a mopar unit? Thanks for your input!

Go on their website. It shows exactly how to install. They are actually pretty easy according to people I have spoken to that have them. They did a lot of research in insure that the parts they say will fit with minimal problems. JMO

I have done that three times already!! LOL

I have my 68 Dart apart putting a new wheel cylinder on the front. I have the new wheel cylinder in place , but the small brake line that goes to the flex line is fighting me big time! Is there an easier way to get this stupid little line to go on?????

Take it to a machine shop!

That old tractor is too cool!

I am sooo jealous of two things. You have a hoist and disc brakes! I have neither but really want both.

I have a 68 Dart with drum brakes on all four corners. They work OK but I am going to convert to discs this winter.

That is my job for this winter!

rear flex line- check with napa

You are looking at doing what I plan for this winter. However I am putting on disc brakes, replacing all lines as well and going to dot 5 fluid at the same time.

There are adapters to go from 4 bolt to two bolt master cylinders. seen it done and it is not that big a job

Just hang in there buddy, it WILL get better. Just take it one day at a time. I think the log book is a great idea for all of us as we all forget things and the log book would be a great reference for both us and future owners of our babies.
