Scarebird kit

[Kiwicranbrook]

Can anyone tell me what year/model S10 callipers the scarebird kit uses? We have plenty of blazers in the wreckers yards so I just want to make sure I can source the correct callipers before ordering a kit. Cheers

Why not contact Scarebird directly?

Yes, They answered one of my questions on a Sunday. Nice people

I have emailed scarebird. Figured there was just as much, if not more knowledge here. No harm in asking right?

I just bought new ones from Orielly's.  Weren't expensive and I knew that they were new.

The kit will come with instructions and describes the year, make and model of where the calipers are from.  Of the top of my head I don't think they were S10 calipers unless they changed their design. I believe the caliper was from a Caprice and the rotor from a Ford Escort.  I'll look for my paperwork to confirm this evening.

Thanks for the Information.

Left and right calipers are so the bleeder valve is in the up position I believe.  Everything to change my 1946 to front disc came to $600 from Scarebird and NAPA.

Keep in mind, they do change their kits from time to time. I needed a replacement spindle adapter for a kit I bought a few years ago. Fortunately they still had a couple left from the prior kit version.

Agree!  I purchased my kit about 4 years ago and I'm positive it called for a Chevy Caprice caliper

Mine used the caprice calipers as well.
