Rockauto tends to be the lowest price, especially if it all ships from one location.

I've also used amazon to get parts.

I used the lightweight aluminum MC from Rick Eherenberg. I used the offset bushings, but they're not really necessary. I got a used prop valve, but I believe they are available from Inline Tube (???). The rest of the parts came from NAPA.

Disc brakes don't use backing plates??? Also what bolt pattern does the disc that you will use have? You rear axles are 4 inch aren't they?
