The lines out of the proportioning valve to the fronts and rear are definitely 3/16 but master to proportioning valve I wasn’t sure of

Running brake lines in my 74 scamp which has manual front discs from a 78 volare swapped in. Can’t quite recall what the line size between the master and proportioning valve was supposed to be, the inverted flares in the proportioning valve look like they should be 1/4”? Any help would be much...

i've got the 4 to 2 bolt adapter on my scamp, took a couple pics of it, crappy cell phone pics so sorry they arent the greatest but gives you the idea, its just a plate with 4 holes in it to bolt to the stock 4 and has 2 studs in it to convert to the 2 bolt

i'll check it out johnny, thanks for the tip

this is a used one out of a volare and i'm just putting in an adjustable pushrod, guess i'll have to check the parts store, thanks for the help guys!!

well guys after some more persuasion i managed to get the pushrod out, but, the rubber came out with it and doesn't appear to be in very good condition. any suggestions?

ok guys thanks for the tips, i'll give a few of those methods a try next time i'm working on it

Hey guys i've got the master cylinder off the volare that i took all the brake stuff off of and am trying to take the pushrod out of the master cylinder so that i can use an adjustable one to get the brake pedal to line up again, trouble is i can't get the pushrod itself to come out. Any tips or...

ok guys so i bought the 4 post to 2 post adapter bracket, do i need to switch pushrods in the master cylinder, thanks

bump, i know someone has the answer to this

bump, anyone?? I know there's many guys out there that have done this swap before, thanks

no they both have 4 bolts but the master cylinder is in a different spot in the mounting plate and doesn't look like it's going to bolt on

Ok guys so i had bought a 78 volare to get all the disc brake stuff off and someone said to make sure you get the master cylinder off because you'll need it on your car, so i pulled it off but as i look at it compared to the one thats on my car right now the mounting bolts are not in the same...

thanks man that's all i needed to know

bump anyone know the answer to my above question??

so guys just an update, i've bought the 78' volare and got it towed home last night. I got into it a little tonight and just wanted to confirm that i use both the lower control arms and upper a arms that were on my car an just take the spindles etc. off the volare. I expected that that would be...

ok thanks crackedback, i don't know a price on it yet but just looking at it he can't be asking much. It's half under a snow bank right now but the days are getting warmer so hopefully i can go take a closer peek at it. Thanks again man

alright guys unfortunatly that cordoba didn't work out but new question, a volare just came up for sale literally 2 minutes from my house that i think i could pick up pretty cheap, since my car is a 74 they should bolt right up correct?

saturday night bump

that's a great find abodyjoe but it's 1300 bucks for the kit, ouch that a lot more then my budget can afford. Thanks though. So what you guys are saying is that becasue mine is a 74 it should already have the big ball joint and therefore i won't need either the ball joints or upper control arms...

thanks for the tip man, i did a little more reaserch and it says that i'll need new lower ball joints and upper conrtol arms which through them is going to cost me another $299, why do i need the other ball joint and control arms? I sit just so that you have the big ball joint?? i don't quite...

well man you'd need to get the spindles off a donor car and everything else you should be able to get at your local parts store but i don't know if you could do it that cheap. rameth seems to think so and hey he may be right but anything i've ever priced out would turn out to be a fair chunk...

i'd love to try a boneyard but anything that once had disc brakes have been long picked over and all that's left is the stuff that people are asking tons of money for. I can't get parts that cheap here in canada, no matter what i try and i've got some fairly inside connections, thanks for the...

bump......anyone???

thanks jim, i think that they have a couple different kits and that's just a list of the ones they have, i noticed that one of the order options is which year your car is so i assume that they are different which obviously would be correct, no one ever used these guys before?

ok those should be easy enough to pick up from local parts store correct?? No big deal if that's the case

Het guys, i've been looking ever since i bought my scamp in the spring for a cheap disc brake conversion kit and think i've stumbled upon the exact thing i'm looking for. My question is for you guys has anyone ever used this kit or this company? If so how well did it all go together?? how did...

ya i'll try the wrench next, too cold to go outside and work today, it only got to -14 celsious outside, brrrrrrr

alright i'll give the wrench a try, thanks guys

well i went at it a little today and didn't have much luck, it didn't get very warm out today so i wasn't able to stay out in very long. I got a hose clamp but it's a little too small i think and i can't seem to get it around the fingers. do you guys think if i found a really small gear clamp if...
