There is no information on their website? What did the swap cost you? Do you just buy the brackets from them? thanks

Following..........
I don't see why a guy couldn't make his own adapter plates, as this is the only thing that needs to be "custom" on a D200 front disc conversion....correct?
So in short, you could select any components you wanted, then make a plate / spacers to adapt to the axle.
This winter, my Dad and I will be diving head first into this.

It seems pretty simple in theory I just haven't had the time. Been working on the other truck...

We had a member, Steven, who did this many years ago.

When I purchased it it came with the brackets, bolts, and parts list everything needed to complete the install I wanna say it was 250ish for it. The brake and bearing stuff was pretty cheap.

Slick,
So if I understand you correctly, you turned down the outermost O.D. On your hub, to fit inside the backside of the rotor? I'm referring to your first pic. Also, it doesn't appear that the stud side register on the hub is a "precision" fit to the I.D. Of the rotor. I wonder if the backside fit is precise enough to rule out any potential vibration....... may have the turn down backside I.D. Of the rotor first to true it up, then turn hub down to that dimension.

Yes I turned down the hub. It was just mockup and a few months ago. I've kind of scrapped the idea for now, so I don't remember exactly what it looked like. Sorry...

Any updates? I'll be going with the scarebird kit next month if I can't find a better way by then. Also anyone have AAJ's parts list?

Can't help you with the AAJ list but I'm installing a Scarebird setup on my D200 this week. Cost all-in, including a new prop valve and brake lines, was about $600. You can follow along in my build thread "67 D200 CSS Sweptline" in the build thread section if you want to see how it goes together.

I'll look at your build for sure. Be sure to take good step by step pics of the process. Where did you get the proportion valve from? And does it require a 17" rim to clear?

I bought a Summit complete drum/disc valve (SUM-760182) that member pwadventurer used:
viewtopic.php?f=20&t=38901
I preferred an all-in-one option with the correct residual pressure and proportioning instead of the adjustable called out in the Scarebird install, plus I couldn't find an adjustable for 1/4" brake lines without using reducers and the rear brake line is 1/4".
Not sure yet about the rim clearance. I have aftermarket 16" rims at the moment, but I'm prepared to find 17's if need be.

So The summit prop valve will have a 3/16" inlet feed lines from the master and 3/16" line going to the front two calipers then a 1/4" line feeding the rear drums?

I don't know what size the pre-bent lines are, I'm not using them because I'm mounting the valve down on the frame in the stock location. The Summit valve inlets are 1/2"-20 and 7/16"-24. You might be able to get tube nuts for these sizes in 3/16" but they're more commonly 1/4" tube nut sizes. I'm running 1/4" line from both master cylinder ports to both of the prop valve inlets. The front has two outlets in 3/8"-24 for 3/16" lines to the front brake hoses, and the rear outlet is 9/16"-18 for a 1/4" line to the rear brake hose.
