The hubs shown in the picture with this post look like they are made of steel and have a factory style grease cap. I assume they are not the hubs that come with the kit. What is the story with them? Are they machined down hub/rotors?


That is true, I used a set of steel hubs so I could move the car around in the shop. Those are steel hubs left over from my Coronet. I used steel hubs when I designed the brake system for the Coronet. I prefer steel hubs since it is easier to maintain a tight tolerance press fit for the bearing race in steel but Doctor Diff and Baer both use aluminum for their hubs. I think Wilwood also uses aluminum for their hubs. When I made hubs I used steel.
