How's the weed control doing in your fields CF ?

There will be about 5 acres that I will be waiting on the weeds to die for harvest. Other than that after this weekend coming up I will do my last hand spraying. They have just now started to yellow in spots so hopefully another 4 weeks and it will be time to start harvest.

Looks like I need brakes on the Cuda. Having fun trying to find a conversion kit for manual brakes, a kit that uses the original spindles and a 4" pattern..

i got manual brakes on my 71 duster
all the cool stuff you got

i went with a company called "scarebird" (i know, not a name that instills trust)

they designed a bracket that bolts to your 4 inch spindle
that is the only custom part in the set up

they then use mix of off the shelf parts, a brake hose from a eldorado, calipers from a chevy celibrity and rotors from a toyota of some sorts

you can buy the entire kit for just under $500 or just the brackets and source all the other part yourself (you do need to have the rotors drilled to 5X4 but they include a layover)

oh, and when i bought it, they didnt include studs with the kit, i dont know, they may do that now...but because of the thickness of the rotor, they suggest installing longer studs

i installed this setup on my duster several years ago and it works great
not modern day muscle great but definitely very day commuter safe

especially since i also upgraded the master cylinder to a raybestos MC36406






1960-72 Dodge, Plymouth "A" body, with 9" drums Wheel Kit


let me know if you want me to send you the installation instructions

You're no shrinking violet Fred. Just take your time and you'll be fine. If I can do it anyone can.

I've got a brand new 10" drum and another one that is hardly used at all. I took that one to have it machined and glad I did. It is bent so now a paperweight. Trying to find a new 10" drum is almost impossible. They don't list anything here in Canada. Apparently Wagner and Raybestos left Canada because the big bucks weren't here, this is for classic cars I was told. I have one more source Called National Moparts where I got my shroud. I lost my leg on the last purchase so I'm going to be really short now if he has one. I contacted Leed's Brakes and Great Stuff. Neither of them have a 4" brake kit.

can you get bendix there?
(i believe that the name)

either way, the scarebird is a nice option, if you dont mind the conglomeration of different part

Yeah we can but all the jobbers have searched all avenues and don't list them and if they do there isn't a price for them. What were thinking of doing is when we take the drums off I'll take both the see if they are able to be machined. Out of two of them one should be ok. Thanks for the info though but it may come to that.
