Welcome to the forum! ! You need a disc specific master cylinder. The drum master cylinder doesn't have enough volume to provide enough fluid for the calipers.
No on the Ram hoses. They are kind of weird compared to car hoses. Scarebird will provide part numbers for 3 different length hoses that depend on your specific application (you will have to measure the length you need for you car). I ran new steel lines when I did mine so I could use whichever length brake hose I wanted. Either way, they will still be over the counter items at most parts stores.I may be in the market for a Scarebird conversion. I have a few questions for either the OP or anyone who'd know.
-when using the 94-99 Ram calipers, do you use the Ram brake hoses as we'll?
-does the Scarebird kit include hardware to mount the calipers to their adapter plates?
-with the Galaxie rotors, what year of Fury bearing do you use or can you use the Galaxie bearing? (OP said he used Fury bearings)
Thanks everyone
Need to know year and model to help more.I too have just installed my Scarebird conversion. I tried to keep the original MC and booster, but I am having trouble getting peddle. I have replaced all lines with a Inline tube set. Looks great, just need a good peddle. What have I done wrong?
OK, I am there. I can lock them up!!!!! I watched "You Tube" and found a brake booster rebuild. They featured a dual diafram (sp?) brake booster. They were from an Imperial or a 440 Road Runner or something. I got the booster from Murray Park and Booster rebuilt out in Washington. I am a happy camper. Just wish someone would have told me that the single diafram brake booster would not work. Happy, happy, happy!
Good luck. I will be watchingHey Boyd,
Good to have a heads up, I hadn't ordered a new booster! Got the parts list from Scarebird and everything is in the mail now.
