Before & After

Wow.looks great!! Nice mods! What are you using for disc brakes ?

Brackets are from Scarebird Classic brakes
'98 to '02 Honda Accord 4cyl. rotors
'83 to '92 Chevy S-10 4WD calipers
'79 to '90 Buick Electra banjo bolts
Hoses by Brake Hoses Unlimited

Steering, spindle, hub, bearings & grease seal are all stock with the exception of turning down the hub rim 20 thousandths to fit into the rotor hat.
Also, the Aero studs were a few threads short of a full bite on the lugs due to the thicker rotor hat so I replaced them with slightly longer surplus L & R thread Willys M38 studs.

Everything fit together really well.

Are these the brackets you used?

No, it's an Aero specific bracket, I haven't seen it on his site yet.
I sent him a steering knuckle, steering arm, trunnions, spindle, hub, rim & hubcap to use for the mock-up to make sure there wouldn't be clearance issues. I know he can make them, he wanted the parts for potential future work so we worked out a trade.
Here's some photos of the brackets, and his original mock-up.

  What are you doing for a master cylinder ?

Just looking thru this post and the work looks great so far. One thing to note, the primary, or long shoe should always be installed forward on the car. The short shoe goes on the back and will have the emergency brake lever attached to it.

Thanks for pointing that out, good eye!

I didn't consult the manual until now, just went by my disassembly photos. This rights a decades long wrong since I put those shoes on in the early '70's. No doubt that pointer will improve my braking............ much appreciated! Still haven't installed the rear suspension assembly so it's an easier fix now.

I'm using an original type master cylinder. Mark at Scarebird had me measure the pedal arm length and master cylinder stroke length to calculate the mechanical advantage and he thinks I'll be ok.
