I cant get an answer on s-g, probably because it's down every other hour.

Looking to know what I need to adapt the starion brakes to a 81 scorpion. I was comparing brackets on the rear and they dont match up. I havent aquired front brakes yet, but I wanted to know before I get too much more stuff collected what I need to get decent brakes on this thing.

thats strange I use staz brakes and have had them on scorp mounts
just slide on the vented discs and bolt the calipers on I may have put a washer between the mount and caliper to centre it on the disc

I now use a datson H190 diff and use the scorp mounts welded to the datson diff although I had to machine up some spacers to centre the caliper on the discs - the bolt spacing is correct though

as for decent brakes the staz brakes arnt that flash I run them on a N/A track car that weighs 990 Kg ( 2180 Lbs ) and will up grade when I turbo

as for the front I used staz struts then everthing fit easy

hope that is some help

weird the calipers I had didnt look interchangeable. I'll have to take a closer look. Seemed like the bolt spacing was off about a inch,.=
