Swap meet disc brake kit info

[Dan Capeci]

A friend of mine picked up a disc brake conversion for me at a swap meet that was labeled '40s Dodge' and it looks like it'll fit my 48 business coupe project. I'd just have to drill one hole (that's been welded over previously) in the top of the bracket. I have 11" brakes. Does anybody recognize these parts/kit?

 

 I'd love to have disc brakes, but I definitely don't want to install something that I don't know how to order parts for in the future.

Thanks everyone.

I bought a Scarebird Disk Brake Conversion kit a couple years ago for my 48 Plymouth Special Deluxe Sedan that looks very "similar" to what you have pictured. 

 

I converted my front drums to disc, and I love it. I'm sure others would also recommend.

 

I took pictures of the boxes of each of the parts so I could always find replacements if needed that I can share (calipers, pads, bearings, brake hoses, etc.)

Dan ,  It looks like your new/used parts are set up for 6 lug wheels . Are your wheels 5 lug ?

[Dan Capeci]

No they're five lug Wheels but the kit rotors are drilled dual. Both 5x4 1/2 and 5x4 and 3/4.

Clark, thanks for the info everything's a little bit different but so close there. Right now I'm leaning towards it having this kit just based on some of the things I've seen
