    Okay, let's try this again. Has anybody had any experience putting GM discs ('84 Camaro) on a 1940 Plymouth. I read that the Plymouth hubs were small and easily fit inside some disc rotors and only need to be re-drilled. I've heard that S-10 backing plates work. If that's so, shouldn't the Camaro brakes be an easy swap?
    I've got the GM parts car out back.
    Thanks,
    Dick J
     
  2. might be best to look at the stuff available from scarebird, seems to take a lot of the guess work out and I think most times the brackets are like 150 or so for the pair (both sides driver and passenger)

    we will be using scarebird on Seabass49's Coronet...

    I did mine this way:
