Has anyone used their disc brake brackets?

meh, just looks like a single piston caliper...

I've used the Scarebird brackets on a couple of non-Mopar conversions...the fit and finish is excellent and the instructions are very intuitive.

Scarebird makes a good product & uses common parts to build brake conversions .

I've used them before. Good parts.

I just purchased this kit but wasn't clear if I needed to change my Proportioning valve. Does anybody know if you can use your stock one?

The Scarebird kits are to convert drums to discs......if you currently have drums there is no prop valve in the system. The drum brake brass "safety T" is only a splitter, no proportioning.

the master will need to be changed or modified as well , drum brakes have a 10 lb residual pressure valve in line so if that is left in the disc brakes will drag , it is hidden behind the brass insert in the master , it can be pulled using a self tapping screw & the insert re-installed after removing the residual PV assuming you do not damge the insert wider than the flare can seal over .

So then I would need one correct or is it possible to run one with out. It is not listed on the part list and says " Master cylinder and Proportioning valve specs are quite varied. I would recommend 67-68 fury or similar disc master for best performace match for 62-68 cars, and use the stock disc master for later vehicles (dual chamber).  Some have used existing single chamber master cylinder with success but........." So am not clear if I did need it or not based on what the instructions. I would figure it would be listed as part of the part list I would need.

The only way to know for sure if you'll need a prop valve is to do some heavy braking after the new M/C and brakes are installed...if the rear brakes lock up before the fronts you should install a prop valve in the rear circuit. Aftermarket adjustables are the easiest to use.
