I measured an all original metal one owner 70 340 Duster yesterday for inner to top 1/4 lip inside edge and go the same exact measurement as the original 68 Barracuda coupe wheel wells I have.

I currently run a hybrid Dr Diff/Baer setup. Original front's from Baer with their aluminum hubs. Rears from Dr Diff. Also replacement front rotors from Dr Diff. Front rotors are from a late 90's Corvette from memory. Calipers from a Cobra. I could get all normal service parts from the local parts store if I wanted.

Let us know if you find a usable hub

Did Baer stop making them?

Still making the brake kits using their hubs, so unless it's a case of using up existing stock then no more I gotta think an Email to support might be needed here.


They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.

Alright. Thanks. I was doing more searching and saw they still list the full kits. They have a full 6-piston kit for $2400. I know I can make my own kit using a 6-piston Brembo for probably about $800. Just gotta find a hub solution

I have one Baer hub on hand if you want to buy it. I'm sure you can come up with another one somewhere. Baer is still selling kids to the have the hubs. Maybe call them and tell them you need one.

If I am not mistaken, Dr Diff sells the front hubs and whole front disc kit. I would not hesitate to buy from him.

He does. And I have bought from him in the past. But he charges $1250 plus shipping for a 4 piston "brembo caliper" copy on a 13" rotor.

I can build myself a set with real 6-piston brembo calipers on 13" rotors for several hundred less than that. Possibly even half of that depending on what price I can get hubs, rotors, etc.

You guys know that Coleman builds custom spindles pretty cheap, like under $500, that would allow the use of a variety of big bearing Coleman hubs (also very cheap) This would solve the camber/roll center issue on B and E bodies by having one made taller, and allow you to use a much stronger hub, all under $1500. As far as brakes, 6 piston calipers are nice if needed and the piston area has been calculated and MC and brake pedal ratio setup. You can have more brake force than the tires can use. Everything has to be designed or calculated based on the application.

I made these for my D100 too use Mustang 13" rotors. I machined them so the rotor thickness plus hub put the wheel in stock location.

Looks nice and beefy which is what you want for a truck.

Hey Badeeds, those are SUPER nice. I almost wish I had known you were producing something like this instead of cutting down a Dakota rotor. What's the price on these?

Greg

PS. Are you the gent that hooked up a Toyota R154 to a Mopar 2.4L a few years ago?

Greg, I was thinking about $350 for the pair with studs and races installed. I have been real hesitant on selling because of liability. I have my first version on my truck giving real world test. I will soon have 3 other friends using them soon. They will have the version as pictured. The current version is a lot more beefy in the inter bearing and stud area. Couldn't do much on the out side since the rotor has to slip overit.I did add a male changer that matches up with female chamfer of rotor. Gives strength and keeps rotor centered.

Yes I am the one that mated the 2.4 to the R154.That vehicle is still not running.Hopefully next year. Life, (kid sports, moving, changing career, too many project, ect.....) Got in the way haha.
