Scarebird question...total cost
I have a '63 Dart and am looking at the Scarebird disc swap.....what's the total cost minus new wheels and tires of course? Kit and parts store brake parts etc.... what's the total cost appx? THANKS!
the newest design works on 9 or 10 inch spindles just by flipping sides. I'm not sure if they still have the 14 problem size. I have 14 inch rallies on mine but don't remember the width.
You can use your existing spindles. that's what made me choose scarebird in the first place I had the hubs redrilled to
5 on 4.5 since the rotors you order have that bolt pattern drilled originally (or you could redrill the rotors to 5 on4.0 to use the existing
tires and rims)this was done(5 on 4.5 drilling hubs) so I could use the new rotors without having to redrill them every time I had to put new rotors on. 6 of 1, half dozen of the other your choice. and I plan on putting a LOT of miles on the car since it'll be my daily driver .
not counting the $40.00 to redrill the Hubs to 5 on 4.5 (or rotors to 5 on 4 if that's the way you go) I did mine for simplicity since the rears had already been redrilled to 5 on 4.5 and didn't want to carry 2 different bolt pattern tires.
I paid 18.00 per
caliper(napa)............ ................36.00 you can get at any parts store.
28.00 per
rotor.(advanced auto)...........................56.00 "you can get at any parts store.
the
adapter plates............................................ 109.00 scarebird
front hoses 19.00 per side(advanced auto)...........38.00 "you can get at any parts store
master cylinder (rock auto)(advanced auto)...........13.00 "you can get at any parts store
proportioning valve (used)...................................5.00 "on this site"
(new ones is 80.00 or an adjustable is cheaper)
1 new
brake line 8.00 for MC(advanced auto) .........8.00 "you can get at any parts store
(this rear hose and cylinders is not needed if your just doing fronts. but is nice to get to make sure it's all good.)
rear cylinders 10.50(advanced auto).....................21.00 "you can get at any parts store
rear rubber hose 27.00(advanced auto) ................27.00 "you can get at any parts store
pads non ceramic 13.00(advanced auto)...............13.00 "you can get at any parts store
rear cylinders 10.50(advanced auto).....................21.00 "you can get at any parts store
I'm right about 326.00 for all new. except spindles which are original
ahh forgot the redrilling of the hub that did cost me 40.00 to get them done and 22.50 for 2 inch long 1/2-20 studs.
soooo
326 +40+22.50 = 388.50 was my cost total
Thats for a conversion I can go to any parts store and repair anywhere on any day and not have to wait for parts to be shipped to me(like wildwood's kit) .
for the front only. knock about 50.00 off to skip the rears.
so if you look around and shop parts it could,maybe,might just cost a little less +- 20 bucks than 300 for just the fronts.
oh yeah I forgot to mention that once you get the adapter plates you can get the rest of the stuff at your on pace or budget so 109.00 initial cost(Might have gone up to 115.00)
and the rest as you have money.
