Post by: rovohn on 2022-12-31 07:13
Bad news
Scarebird shutting down business, supply chain issues😕
One less option for disc conversion,and they used the existing spindles so no alignment issues
Bummer

I asked if anyone was taking over. They said no.
 
I guess if anyone had an unused kit we can make patterns and at least share the data.

The  kit to keep 14" wheels was the main one for here.   

I think also lack of customers is feeding this issue.

I would think there would be a fair sized group given those spindles were common through 64?

Wilwood and likely others are offering 14" wheel front disc conversion kits for original spindles.

Sorry to hear that.  I've used their swaps on several different brand cars and they were nice since they used off the shelf components from later cars.
