Scarebird C-Body Disc Brake Conversion Kit
Using the two brackets you can convert any drum brake car to a disc brake car using modern components that are quality and easily obtainable from a local parts store. This swap is far cheaper than other aftermarket systems and best of all, you do not have to go through the junkyard to find OEM pieces, if you can find them in a junkyard at all.
The best part about this conversion is that is uses MOPAR parts! We are now using the stock 69-72 C-Body Disc Brake parts for the conversion. This will bolt right on to your stock drum brake spindle. This conversion will cost about $300.00 for EVERYTHING. Please click here for instructions. http://www.tallzagauctions.com/FRY%20v. ... 15-07).doc

Please see the instructions for specific part numbers. These brakes will require 15" wheels, so please keep that in mind before doing the swap. This kit will only work for drum brake cars and will not fit the early C-Body Budd Disc Brake cars.

These brackets are made of 1/4" thick solid steel and are proudly made in the US. Scarebird and Tallzag backs up every item they sell and if you are not 100% satisfied, we will send you a full refund, minus shipping and as long as the part is in its original form.

This includes the two front brackets and sleeves only for your conversion. This conversion will fit any C-Body from 1965, 65, 1966, 66, 67, 1967, 1968, 68, 1969, 69, 1970, 70, 1971, 71, 1972, 72, 1973, 73 including the Dodge Polara Custom, Monaco 500, 880, Chrysler Newport, 300, Town and Country, T&C, Wagon, Suburban, Plymouth Fury GT, Sport Fury, I, II, or III.

That might be easier than trying to find lower balljoints for original disc brake c bods.

At £110 each.. As no one makes them now it's gonna be easier to convert a drum car for which the bottom joints and spindles are still made.

I have a deal going with the guys at scarebird.

As for the brake parts in the list, all that is easy.... everything still available and relatively easy on the wallet
