I have them on my 61 Plymouth wagon. Brackets worked out good and I bought all the brake parts from Rockauto and Oreilly's. He sent a list of parts needed with the brackets.

Do you have front disc only, or 4 wheel disc? I want to put 4 wheel disc on my wagon project.

My son has them on his 68 Dart 270. The fronts work well. All parts are off shelf GM so easy to find or upgrade. Had to redrill the rotors for the small bolt pattern.

On the rear, we have not installed them yet. The two brackets are not clocked the same so we will figure that out when we get there.

what is the total cost of this setup after you buy all the parts store items+ lines+ brake booster and master?

I'm interested also for my demon. It's coming down to scarebird or the FJM 11.75" rotor swap.

My 16 year old used the scarebird to convert the front of his 64 d100 Sweptline pickup. Worked great except the instructions showed the brackets to be in installed backwards...other than that they worked great and easy enough that he figured it out. Cost about $350 to convert it...
