8 3/4 Disk Brake Conversion



Rear

Here my 8 3/4 disk brake conversion using Scarebird adapters.

The overall set up is pretty straight forward and simple. The instructions included with the adapters were easy to follow with no guessing involved. This conversion cost a little more because not only was I converting over to disk, but also converting from small bolt pattern (4 ") to big blt pattern (4 1/2").

The conversion uses:
1979 - 1990 Cadillac Eldorado calipers
1982 - 1987 Liconln Continental rotors
1979 - 1990 Chevorlet Caprice flex hoses and banjo bolts.

I purchased new Yukon axles on Ebay and also green bearings.
