Bill Looks good, hows it on the road or have you had chance to try yet? Hey how come your names not on list for Hot August Nights?

Billgear:

Looks great. What the dimension of those rotors? Do you have a part number?

Thanks, Bob.

Haven't had a chance to try it yet, I'm still rapping up the rear
setup. The rotors are from SSBC they are about 11 3/8 inch.
by .780 the part number on them is BRC 502 00221T2P
don't know if that will help or not?

Bill,
Really nice set-up. Similar to what I am working towards, but I bought the TCP UCA/LCA and strut rods.
I have a question on your brake set-up. Do you have the SSBC 'Super Duty' braking system? I also bought a set of 70 drum spindles, but in the NPD catalog they don't carry the super duty set-up for 70 drum conversions. Did you go right through SSBC? I checked their online catalog and didn't see this setup either. (Also, the price in the latest NPD catalog is $1148. I can get a Baer system for close to that!)

Thanks,
Glenn

The SSBC kit is called the HD 12" kit, not sure if they have it
anymore. It was on my 66' spindles and I transfered it over.
Just get the one kit for your year. If I had it to do over, I would have got the baer kit... I'm not to happy with the
SSBC cust servise. The 65-66 spindles are the same as the 70 spindles for mounting the kits.

Cool. Thanks for the info. I am going to price both kits.

Like those rotors /forums/images/icons/wink.gif

Here's what SSBC Kits look like when you order 'em from M-Plus.....I got these two months ago, and a few people have commented on the rotors.

Billgear,

Thanks. This rotor may work in my Lincoln caliper upgrade project. The LTD rotor is 11.4764 in diameter and requires a separate hub. This is an integral hub rotor looks just like the 65/66 so it's a little more stealth.

Looks like I'll have to start machining new caliper brackets. By chance do you have any pictures of the caliper mounting brackets SSBC used to mount the PBR calipers? Where they a casting or mached?

Thanks, Bob.

Bob,

I don't have any pics, It looks like a cast unit (parting marks)
If you still need them I'll get a shot next time I do the brakes, shouldn't be to long....
