    Disc Brake info!

    Depending on where you go, getting rotors turned for $5-10 each is a typical price. It's still a pretty good savings, even with the cheap price you found for rotors. I've seen them more like $50-up here. However keep in mind quality. There are different levels of it and cheaper price usually...

    Disc Brake info!

    The rotors could still need turned for flatness, in that the brakes will pulsate and you'll feel it in the pedal when you apply them. I thought mine looked good smooth enough when I put them on, but they were warped and pulsated so have to come off for turning. Min thickness says .94 inches...

    Disc Brakes or Drum Brakes

    My Scamp had 4 drums on it when I bought it. I had a few instances where I had to stop on a dime and it was a scary experience each time. I later got some 73 Duster discs, non-power. Vast improvement. I'd go discs. If you don't want BBP, I'd still put on the KH's. If you decide to go disc...

    Factory BBP on 7.25 axle

    When I switched to BBP front discs on my '71 Scamp, my donor car was a '75 4-door Dart Custom, with a /6. To keep the same 5x4.5 BP at all 4 wheels, I also swapped out the 7.25 rear ends. I didn't notice any differences at the time. I compared them side by side and didn't see anything to cause...

    To use or not use DOT5 fluid?

    Well now, at first this was good news, as years ago I put a new MC and brake lines on my Scamp, and debated going DOT 3 or 5...I ended up going DOT 3 because I was seriously on a tight budget and I heard issues about DOT 5 being hard to bleed out bubbles and the pockets of water that get...

    brake conversion question

    It's the spindle that can be used from the b and e bodies. But you also have to have the UCA from a '73-up a-body to make it work for a 72-down a-body.

    Hard lines length and size

    I'd think the only way you're going to get a real close to factory look by bending the lines yourself is to have an old set of lines to copy from. Either that or find someone who has dimensioned sketches of the lines. Otherwise all you can do is take various measurements and just go by eye as to...

    Brake line adapter

    I'm not sure which fittings in the system you are talking about, but if you need the adapter fittings that are larger in size than what's standard for a certain size brake line (like say 1/4" size fitting adapter for 3/16" brake line), I found what I needed at Napa. They were just short adapter...
