scarbird didnt seem to want to be very helpfull as with anyone i have contacted about these cars all i get is laughed at and have been told things i didnt like

ssbc when u call them they say they dont make that kit anymore no need for it !!!!

so my thoughts are what about a rotor same diameter and have a billet spacer behind it i realize there will be a bearing issue then but that may be easier to find i need to get a spindle and extra rotor
wish i had a cnc machine !!!lol

You need to search wheel bearing listings and find a car that uses the same wheel bearings. If your car has the 5x5" bolt circle, then the rotors from the 71-76 B-body MAY fit. These cars do use the same wheel bearings, but I don't know if the offset from the rotor to the wheel mounting surface is the same. That might affect whether or not the caliper will go on correctly. It might be worth the $30 or so to buy a rotor and see if it works.

I think I may have found your rotors and drums, I was checking through some reference books of mine an d fouind the dimensions match up to : autozone part # DGR5516 front rotors, and depending on the width of your brake shoe, 8873, 8812 or 8504 for the rear drums,,, hope this helps

Have you considered buying drum spindles and running the scarbird kit?
I should be ordering there kit in the next month

russell7088

yes i thought about drum spindles but doesnt the kit work without the booster

russell7088

autozone number is the b-body cars and chevy truck but 71-76 b-body and 76-82 chevy truck thanks for the info

i will pick one up and check the thickness and where the bearing race sets because that is what i am finding is the problem this is the rotor joe is talking about so we will pick one up and see what is the difference

thanks again guys for all the help

D Appeldorn

Let me know how or what will work

I have the same problem if my brake need to be replaced.

russell7088

i will definitely let everyone know i also found a connection at a brake rotor facility and the connection is an engineer there so im tryin to get in touch with him a friend said he knows they have done some custom stuff before so if i can talk with him i will definitely have to get a list together for those who want them i know one set will last the rest of my lifetime

D Appeldorn

i'm younger i think as you

just kidding,

i found only one solution, expencive i know but it contains all i think

they sell a full kit whit a lot i think i do not need like the booster.

and i could ask local steel c&c workers to manufactor one but that's also getting expencive in labour.

MAGIC253

Well I'm looking to actually buy the Scarbird kit but....$325 is a good chunk just to buy a bracket and a small hub. I wish the solution was easier.

off the topic .... sweeeet car

You know, I did some checking 'cuz I keep seeing "mobileparts" posts that read like advertisements. That always makes me suspicious....

Seems Mr. Craig Studnick (a.k.a. "The Antique Automotive King") of West Hempstead, NY has quite a solid reputation as a knowledgeable vendor of brake parts in the collector car market. Apparently he vends at Carlisle events regularly. I found numerous postings on various forums saying good things about Craig with a couple of quick Google searches.
I like a happy ending

If you still need spindles &/or rotors from a '70 Delta 88 custom, give me a call, I just removed all these parts from one in a yard last week. The car is still there & pretty solid if you need anything else.

I have the 1969 - 1970 OLDS FULL SIZE ROTORS & the
1967 - 1968 OLDS FULL SIZE ROTORS --- all N.O.S. -- that is the only way to have them, and those two ARE different; I have both....

Nobody ever reproduced either one, nobody ever will reproduce either one; there are just not enough vehicles that had them, even fewer that still exist with them; and way too pricey to make............

Best to call me --- Craig -- 516 - 485 - 1935.............

And I have some N.O.S. +Asbestos+ Disc Brake pads so you don't "rip up" these rotors -- and only have to buy them once!!!!!!!!

russell7088

mobile parts i will call you hope you still have these can you send me a price to my email please
brian.russell88@yahoo.com

also check this page i just ran across this listing is for the impala but i will call them also and check into this option. dont know if i want to lower the car two inches it already sits low with my wheel and tire option but if i go ahead and put an air ride system on it that will help
any input on this system from anyone will help, would still like to have an option like this so i can run available rotors..

russell7088

ok just called this place http://www.classicperform.com/fullsize.htm#3 and the tech guy said as far as he knows this kit will work with all gm b body cars, you can get the disc brakes only but you have to have the 65-68 spindle just like with ssbc or scarbid. BUT the kit with 2 inch drop spindles will be everything you need

looks like i will be lowering the 88 two inches with new spindles and rotors and i guess i will get a rear end ordered also gonna be a good winter for the old girl

Don't know if you've solved your situation -- but if you want BRAND NEW
FRONT ROTORS & BRAND NEW REAR BRAKE DRUMS ---- I have the factory correct Rotors & Drums..... yes, they are very difficult to find on planet earth.......... a bonus is that I have some N.O.S. Front Disc Brake pads and some Rear Brake Shoes for these ----- in +++ ASBESTOS ++++ so you don't rip to shreads these Rotors & Drums.... you want to make this a
once -- only -- purchase.......

Best to call me --- Craig -- 516 - 485 - 1935...........

I am not in the library every day - to use the computer,

another gentleman found out that 2000 camaro rotors are VERY close to exact, as there are only 1/16 of an inch differences but nobody has done anythng to confirm it. I wll try to check into this, bggest issue is the bolt pattern, you will need to have machine shop drill for 5x5 bolt pattern
