I've got the spindles and the 11.75 rotors also have a line on the caliper adapters. Anyone sell a kit with everything but these three things? -BD


Will the last one leaving the US please turn out the lights.

What more do you think you need ? bearings , seals and pads ? Local parts store for those.

I was unaware of The Speedway kit, that's pretty sweet, but when they say 11 inch rotors are they rounding up or down? I want to use the 11.75 rotors. Also are the calipers sliders or pin style? -BD




We've had discussions on here before with regards to the advantage of the 11.75" rotors versus the 10.87" and the conclusion seems to be that the 11.75" really aren't worth the extra effort. There is no solid evidence they will improve stopping distance or take less effort or wear less that the 10.87". Having done the swap to 11.75", I would go with the 10.87" if I were doing it again.

$100. or less is a fair price for the 11.75" pin-style brackets and there is a member on here who seems to have them for sale every now and then.

I bought the "A" body spindles, 11.75 caliper bracket, for $75 here in the classified's and the rest of the needed parts were readily available parts store stuff.
Buddy of mine bought one on those I think SSBC kits, and wound up tossing it and went the route I did.
Do your home work and chase down the parts!!

I bought my A-Body spindles here for $100, and the 11.75" pin style caliper adapters from the local Pull-n-Save for under $25. Just liked the idea of keeping it 100% Mopar, the parts weren't too hard to source, and love the thrill of the search.

Try 'Cordobas' and the equivalents for the 11.75. Seem to be common here.

I bought the Speedway kit as soon as I saw it for my 63 Fury. Painted it, installed it and it works great and everyting is new. Cool.
