OK.. I have done a search and find NADA! what do I need to ask?
 
I am going to get some 951 front calipers rotors spidles( which i don't need) and pad's..
What else would I need or mod to make these fit the 78 SC?
Can anyone throw a fast list out for me..
Thanks guys!

You probably put in too many search words. I did "951" and "caliper" and got this thread in which Bill V. posts a how to link. 951 Calipers on an SC

Try 951 and caliper. BUT, if you'll read through some of the responses, it's probably not worth the trouble.

So you guys don't think it's a worth while upgrade??

I think it's a worth while upgrade. As a matter of fact, I have a set of 951 brakes that I will machine to fit on my '76.

Sure there are bigger and better brakes one can do, but I got my calipers for cheap and I am putting them on myself.

S-man ,
What is a good deal for rotors/calipers/pads? or better yet what did ya score yours for?

993 calipers easy choice - the 951's you have to machine the chit out of. You also need to space the hubs out another 3mm to clear the a-arm ball joint. So, if you haven't rolled your fenders yet, then your front tires aren't big enough - if you have - can you afford another 3mm?

You can get the spacing using De-Cambered Ball Joints. These move the bottom of the tire out, not the top. Then adjust the strut top for the camber/clearance of your choosing.

Or I guess you can use the decambered ball joint = Is this a recent development Chuck? I don't remember seeing this option when I was putting my brake package together...
