Re: Rear Disc brakes by Blackbirds Custom

I've looked @ alot of these 'kits' in my research & there's one common complaint I have w/these companies..... why isn't the rotor size/type listed in the parts descriptions?

It sure would be nice to know what size rotor I was looking at.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Is this so you would know if your wheel would fit over the disk or do you want to make sure it's bigger than a doughnut?

when you figure out where to get them let me know. I have been looking for a "big" brake set-up for the rear.

I found on another thread where Drink posted the size and the disks are 11 55/64, so just shy of a 12 inch rotor.
