Default 69-70 Big pontiac disc brakes interchange

What other makes will interchange for the disc brakes , I'm pretty sure it has to be 69 and 70 . Big Buick ?, Olds? maybe caddy? Chevy? Any help would be great thanks

Uh, none.

Sorry, no factory parts swap that I am aware of. Rotors can be hard to find. Maybe do one of the Scarebird conversions?

'67-70 all interchange. But you only want '69-70 due to the 4 piston calipers of the '67-68 design. And as far as other makes, nothing interchanges as all the GM divisions were unique back then: standardization across the lines didn't come about until 1971.

I did a '69 conversion on a '67 wagon 10 years ago but today I'd go for a Scarebird conversion if I was doing another. Easier to get parts for and easier to source the complete setup.

California Pontiac Restoration has reproduced the rotors, so they're available... but not cheap!

Thanks for the input guys, noticed the rotors are not cheap on these.

Do you happen to know if the Scarebird kit used the big or small bolt pattern for the rotors, thnx, didnt see them listed.

It uses the big bolt pattern (5x5).

We would however need a spindle as we do not have a setup yet for 69-70; they take a bigger bearing than earlier years.
