Scarebird Information

Gary,

Were you able to keep your stock 13" wheels with the Scarbird disks? Someone on TFFN is asking and I wasn't sure.

Gary,

No. I had 14-inch wheels ready to go, but I tried the 13-inch just for kicks. They would not fit over the calipers.

That reminds me... I now have a set of 13-inch wheels mounted with nice 195/70-13 whitewalls for sale. I'll have to post them on the For Sale section.

Hey, does anyone know what the scoop is on getting the Scarebird parts? Do we just contact them, or do we all have to order them at the same time to get the discounted price?

[Luva65wagon]

Please? Does nobody know? Gary? Kenny?

I swear I already replied to this once! Maybe I forgot to push the "do it" button....
Mark Janis told me he would give a discount to anyone on the Falcon List. I tried get clarification, thinking he meant to give a discount only to Rainier Falcons members, but he said he would give it to anyone on the list. I guess that means you just have to tell him you found out about Scarebird from the Falcon List (or now the Falcon Forum).
Just say that you heard he would give a discount to members of the Falcon Forum when you order.
For what it's worth, he was working on a design for custom hubs for the Falcon 4-lug kit because of the problems we had with mine. If that becomes part of the kit, I'd bet it will cost quite a bit more...

Thanks Gary. I was intending to post something about that after the meeting but spaced it off.

I was just thinking, I wonder if Mark ever thought to have special lug bolts made that had a little bigger shank where it presses into the hub? I'm sure that 8 bolts would be less of a cost to get made then a pair of custom hubs. I'm sure there's some fabrication company somewhere that can produce a small batch (a few thousand).

Thanks, Kenny! I'll put a bug in Mark's ear.

I believe there is a way to use your 13" wheels. I would contact scarebird. seems i saw something form them that said it would not work but there was a note. May require some mods.

This is probably ? for scarebird but thought I might throw this ? out too. Is there a disc brake combo that would allow me to also go from 4 bolt to 5 bolt on my 6 cyclinder falcon?

Yes there is.
