tapered bearings in rear ok .

Ok Im back , I installed the rear system first and it went well . Every thing fit properly with out any massaging , however the method to center the caliper bracket was either backwards or a misprint on the diagram because it only took half as much shims ,.060 ,as it said, per side ,amazingly even ,to center over rotor .Rear bearings also fit and adjusted properly too.I torqued it all to spec ,bled the air wth new Honda brake fluid and road tested with the factory front brakes still on to isolate the rear upgrade before installing the front 13" system .Dont let any one tell you a rear disk upgrade isn't a worthwhile improvement ,WOW , firmer pedal,less effort and a linear feel to steering under braking! I am very pleased with this brake kit.Will get some more pics of the rear installed system , the Baer rotors look really great as a bonus .

Front system almost ready ,Going to paint letters copper first .

ProBee:
Those wheels on your Coronet look very nice. They look like the wheels on the green 69 Road Runner from Mopar Action. Great choice!

Thanks ,ya I think you are right about the wheels ,Mopar Action Road Runner has the same 17x9 KMC wheels .I thought they look a little like Magnum 500's and they are the right off-set ,"0", for old cars .

It was asked once, but I didn't see an answer posted.

What's your Master Cylinder? Are you running vacuum assist?

I spent my tax money on motor trans, so I've favorited this topic for next winter for me

I am using a AR adapted late model 1.03 alloy master cylinder unit at this time , no booster,on a manual drum brake pedal the car was made with .A Baer tech said to use a 15/16 or 1" master ,so I might need to change it after the front swap but I'm going to try the one mounted on the car now.The pedal effort went down with the rear disk swap and its a fairly small piston caliper at 38mm,or 1.5",so perhaps the large rotors, high friction ceramic pads, braided flex lines and stiff alloy calipers that came from Baer will compensate for the smaller piston size .I'll soon find out and post.

Yuo've got a nice thread going.. thanks for your pics and info! Someday on my T/A I'll upgrade the whole system (use for autocross and hi-speed lapping).

Got a new bath scale and personalized my Baer calipers . Going to install the front soon.

Got one side mounted on the Bee today .This is the old set up. 38 pounds and 11 inches.

This is the new system ,31.2 pounds and 13 inches.

Another angle.

Very nice! What were your part numbers for your kits?

Rear P.N. is 4142020 Baer Ironsport and front is P.N. 4141006 .Got both sets at Jegs and they did a very cost effective price match also.The spill under the car is only water from rinsing off brake fluid on my new parts.

Nice! A couple Q's. What size are the fronts and are the Hubs aluminum?

Hubs are alloy and front rotors are 13".

Thanks
