Default tempest disc brakes

http://www.scarebird.com/ Check out this guy. His disc brake conversion for the 61-63 tempests is about the lowest priced available and it uses OEM parts that can be found in any parts store or salvage yard. Also do a search on the 61-63 tempest thread, there is all kinds of discussion about it.

I upgraded to front discs on my 63, one of the best improvements ever! Scarebird's parts fit great!!
