Dan, I realize this was a few years back. I have a couple questions. I have had a couple email exchanges with Scarebird to replace my 1965 Chevelle Convertible drum brakes with disc, I will also call them soon. My spindle lower bolts are 7/16". You state in the video that you used 79' Trans Am rear rotors and 69' GTO calipers. You state they worked with a stock 14" rim. Their current literature calls for 1990 Celebrity calipers and 78' Monte Carlo/Cutlass rotors. I'm not sure why they changed but that GM hardware looks really light duty to me compared to what you used. Anyway, apparently GM had several 14" rims, some for 14" drums, some for 14" disc brakes. Did you have to switch, or do you know which rims you are running? My current Cragar 14" rims measure 4.5" from face of drum to back edge of wheel. Inside diameter is approx. 13.5". Any insight on what you learned thru the process would be helpful.

I wanted to like your video but you skipped the important part of installing the conversion plate.
