From the current Scarebird web site:
We revised our big rotor solution to stopping your 1964-73 AMC. You can easily and very economically convert your existing drum or factory disc spindle to disc brake with our AutoCAD engineered brackets. We make these brackets right here in the USA with state-of-the-art Trumpf CNC laser machinery for excellent fit and finish. This setup alloys Ford Ranger rotors (11.3" diameter) with 1979-85 Eldorado hoses and lightweight GM 1/2 ton pickup calipers and pads, giving you an excellent affordable system that comes with new hubs and preserves the original factory geometry. This will work well with your stock drum master. (we do recommend you change to a dual disc master with an adjustable bias valve in the rear line). This will require 15" rims minimum. We include: brackets, hubs, bearings, dust caps, and seals with some hardware This is if you buy the complete setup from Scarebird But if you buy the bracket for the disc brake and your own parts you get: We revised our budget solution to stopping your 1955-73 AMC. You can easily and very economically convert your existing drum or factory disc spindle to disc brake with our AutoCAD engineered brackets. We make these brackets right here in the USA with state-of-the-art Trumpf CNC laser machinery for excellent fit and finish. This setup alloys Toyota Previa rotors (10" diameter) with 1979-85 Eldorado hoses and lightweight 1985-90 Chevrolet Celebrity HD calipers and pads, giving you an excellent affordable system that requires only light machining* to your OEM drum hub and preserves the original factory geometry. This will fit inside your stock 14" wheel also. You can easily do this for under $250, and will work well with your stock drum master. (we do recommend you change to a dual disc master with an adjustable bias valve in the rear line). We also offer ready-made hubs to make this conversion that much easier.
