Default Front drum brakes to disc. 68 Bonneville.

I'm looking at upgrading my front drum brakes to disc on my 68 Bonneville. Apparently now Scarebird do not make the EXE kit anymore for $489 which included the custom hubs. The use of Dodge sprinter rotors & 71-81 Firebird calipers. They only make the Q30 kit for $229.99 which I'm guessing doesn't include the hubs. This kit uses 77 Cadillac Seville rotors & 71 GTO calipers. I did email them asking this question the response was "We do not make that kit anymore". So if people can only buy the Q30 brake kit from Scarebird now, what are they using as a hub? MP Master Power Brakes. www.mpbrakes.com make a couple of different kits for the 68 Bonneville. Has anyone purchased these kits before? Is the company easy to deal with? I know they are a custom kit & parts probably can't be locally sourced like the Scarebird ones. Has anyone been able to find an upgrade kit for their 68 Bonneville's other than these two companies? Thanks.

See if someone on here has factory parts for a 1969 Pontiac. Possibly up to 1972 may be the same.

The rotor we use is the 1977 Seville piece, we sent you the info with this.

It is a unicast deal; bearings and seals tuck into it like a 1969-72 GTO

Different critter altogether the 67-68, and 69-70. 71-76 even more so.

Apologises for overlooking a few things before I sent off the questions in my post. Did more research into the 77 Seville rotors with the complete hub assemblies included.

So just to clarify, the rotors will work on my existing spindle? The factory drum spindle?

Yes it will. Our sponsor (Ames) also sell a wheel kit that is a good deal.
